COVID-19 cases remained low in Canberra on Friday, but the territory did report the death of another person with the virus.

ACT Health reported the death of a man in his 90s, bringing the total death toll since March 2020 to 125.

There were 163 cases reported in the 24 hours to 8pm Thursday, 74 of which were recorded on PCR tests, while 89 people tested positive on rapid antigen tests. It takes the seven-day rolling average from 203 to 191. It is the first time this year that the rolling average has gone below 200.
