The ACT has tightened its border restrictions in response to the Covid situation in NSW. Anyone entering from greater Sydney, Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour after 11.59pm 9 July will be required to quarantine for 14 days.
Everyone, including ACT residents, will need to complete an online exemption form prior to their travel, but residents will receive an automatic exemption.
In addition, anyone arriving from any state or territory must check the close contact and casual contact exposure locations (listed here). Anyone who has visited a close contact exposure location cannot enter the ACT without an exemption. Anyone who has visited a casual contact location must complete a self-declaration form, and isolate until a negative test result.
