CANBERRA’S indigenous health care service, Winnunga Nimmityjah Aboriginal Health and Community Services (WNAHCS), will close for two days after a person was there who unknowingly had covid.
Due to the number of staff required to isolate at this point in time as a precaution, ACT chief health officer Dr Kerryn Coleman said this means Winnunga is closed today and tomorrow.
She said anyone who had a vaccination booked for today or tomorrow will be able to get their vaccination at the AIS clinic.
ACT Health is working very closely with Winnunga to communicate directly with anyone affected and to provide support on the way forward, she said.
Anyone who visited the main reception at the new Winnunga Nimmityjah Aboriginal Health Service building in Narrabundah between 8.30am-4pm on September 10 will be classified as a casual contact.
Dr Coleman said these people are expected to, complete the ACT Contact Declaration Form, immediately quarantine and get tested for COVID-19 as advised by ACT Health.

![For graphic designer Tracy Hall, street art is like any artwork, her canvas has been swapped out for fences and plywood, her medium changing from watercolours to spray paint.
A Canberra resident for 13 years, Tracy has been a street and mural artist for the past five.
Her first exploration into grand-scale painting was at the Point Hut toilets in Banks five years ago. “They had just finished doing up the playground area for all the little kids and the words [of graffiti] that were coming up weren’t family friendly,” she says.
“So I ended up drawing this design and I got approval for the artwork.”
Many of Tracy’s time-consuming artworks are free, with thousands of her own dollars put into paint.
