| More than 3000 close contacts identified in Canberra Covid outbreak: Health Minister
More than 3000 close contacts have been identified for exposure sites released by ACT Health on Thursday, Health Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith said on Friday.
"We've got more than 3000 close contacts identified from those various exposure sites, and known contacts already," Ms Stephen-Smith told 2CC radio.
"Wednesday evening it was positive wastewater; yesterday morning it was one case; by yesterday afternoon it was four cases: This is Delta strain," she said of the ACT's snap decision to lockdown for seven days from Thursday at 5pm.
Case investigations to identify the source of the first infection were still ongoing yesterday afternoon, Ms Stephen-Smith said.
"The genomic sequencing will come back today, we're expecting it around lunchtime, and that will really help to identify whether there is a link to an existing known case," she said.

| Yeah. Why the panic to get to the supermarket? Woolworths at Kippax is open from 7am until 10 pm .... plenty of time to go shopping minus the crowds. The "shut down" doesn't affect supermarkets but just about everything else will be closed so don't bother going to Bunnings to check out the prices.  | |

| Canberra to go into a seven day lockdown after confirmed Covid case in the ACT
Canberra will go into a snap seven day lockdown after a confirmed case of COVID-19 has emerged in the ACT.
The territory has confirmed its first case of Covid-19 in over a year with ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr expected to announce the week long lockdown at a media conference scheduled for 12.15pm on Thursday.
This comes as the NSW Government announced a lockdown for eight additional local government areas overnight.
The seven day lockdown now applies to the following LGAs of Bogan, Bourke, Brewarrina, Coonamble, Gilgandra, Narromine, Walgett and Warren.
More to come.
