THIRTY-three cases of COVID-19 have been linked to a Halloween house party in Tuggeranong, ACT health confirms.
According to ACT Health, the party has been identified as a covid super spreader event, creating clusters across a number of Canberra schools.
It’s understood the party was attended by up to 150 teenagers.
ACT Health says the matter is now in the hands of police, with one adult – who was present at the party – being fined for breaching health directions.
It comes as a growing number of secondary schools have been affected by virus exposures recently, including Erindale College, St Clare’s College, and Canberra Girls Grammar.
