Post-weekend COVID cases stay low as hospitalisations remain steady

Seventy-five COVID-19 positive patients are still being cared for in Canberra hospitals, the same number as the past two days, as the territory continued its weekend case dip.

There were 887 new cases of COVID-19 reported on Monday morning, the third day in a row the new infection tally was below 1000 cases. No deaths were reported.

The number of reported cases frequently falls over the weekend and in the following days as fewer people present for testing. It takes a longer run of lower case numbers for health authorities to identify a trend in infections.
