The number of close contacts linked to Canberra's Covid outbreak has grown to more than 4000, as the amount of exposure sites also continues to increase.
Health officials on Saturday said there were 4500 people who have self-identified as close contacts linked to virus cases, an increase from the 3900 who had been known about on Friday.
The increase in close contacts also coincided with two new venues added to the list of exposure sites in the ACT.
Among them was a new time for Fiction Bar in Civic, which was linked to the first case identified in the ACT as part of the outbreak.
The new time for Fiction includes the period from between 9pm and 11.59pm on Saturday, August 7.
The exposure time for the Civic venue also includes the previously listed time of between 12am and 4.45am on Sunday, August 8.
