There is only one active case in the ACT and that person is not in hospital.

ACT deputy chief health officer Dr Vanessa Johnston says a Public Health Direction remains in place affected locations in NSW. which legally requires anyone who has been in one of the affected locations identified by NSW Health, to self-quarantine for 14 days from the date they were there, even if they do not have any symptoms.

Dr Johnson says any Canberran who visited Batemans Bay Soldiers Club on Monday, July  13 and Wednesday, July 15 through to Friday, July 17, is legally required to self-quarantine immediately for 14 days from the date of the visit.

“We also strongly recommend you get tested for COVID-19 and contact ACT Health for advice so you can be supported in your quarantine,” she says.
