Household contacts of COVID-19 cases in the ACT will no longer have to quarantine from mid-next week, after the territory's government confirmed it would follow the lead of neighbouring states.
But household contacts in the ACT will have to wait four days longer than contacts in NSW and Victoria to be released as the territory will wait until after the long weekend to implement the changes.
Canberrans will also need to wait until next week to find out how the changes will affect school students and staff.
