ACT Health is advising people in the ACT who have attended any of these close contact exposure locations to; contact ACT Health on 5124 6209: complete an online declaration form on the ACT’s COVID-19 website: get tested for COVID-19: and quarantine immediately for 14 days from the date they were last in the exposure location even if they get a negative test result.

“ACT residents who visited one of these exposure locations and who are not currently in the ACT should follow the advice of the jurisdiction they are in,” says an ACT Health spokesperson.

“If they must return to the ACT, they may need to seek an exemption to leave quarantine from the jurisdiction you are in. ACT Health is also asking ACT residents who are not in the ACT to seek an exemption from ACT Health prior to entering the ACT, so that we can assist you with your safe return to the ACT. Quarantine requirements will apply.

“Non-ACT residents who are planning to come to the ACT and have visited any of the NSW exposure locations during the dates and times specified, cannot enter the ACT without an approved exemption prior to arrival. The exemption form is available on the COVID-19 website. Quarantine requirements will also apply.”
