The ACT is no longer coronavirus-free after a Canberra woman in her 20s acquired the disease overseas.

"She did everything she was supposed to do when she returned to Australia," ACT Health said in a statement.Canberra has recorded three coronavirus deaths and 103 residents have fully recovered from the infection.

"Today marks the first time in seven weeks our territory has no active cases of COVID-19 and this is because of the strong work the community is doing to stop this virus," ACT chief health officer Kerryn Coleman said at the time. People in Australia must stay at least 1.5 metres away from others. Check your state’s restrictions on gathering limits.

Vic Premier has proved a point. it's too early to ease off restrictions, especially with teachers and children...👍👍

How did she get there? The Australian border was closed? Wasn’t it?

The ACT can’t say it’s COVID19 free as people are driving from NSW in and out this cannot be achieved until their is a vaccine

What about the 2 week mandatory quarantine in hotels?

The media coverage is definitely not along the same % lines. If you arrived from another planet you would think 99.6% is the death rate.

What a sensationalised headline pathetic who cares it’s not the deadly disease the media promoted 99.6% of Australians infected had a mild flu like infection. Idiotic

Where are people coming from? I thought most flights were stopped

what about those who carries the virus without symptoms
