ACT Policing has issued a reminder to Canberrans to check upcoming changes to lockdown rules and restrictions expected to come into effect from this Friday (15 October).
Officer in Charge of Road Policing and Detective Inspector at ACT Policing, Donna Hofmeier said police would continue to conduct operations across Canberra.
“While ACT Road Policing will return to normal duties at the end of lockdown, officers will continue to maintain our anywhere, anytime approach to COVID compliance across Canberra,” Detective Inspector Hofmeier said.
COVID-19 Taskforce Superintendent at ACT Policing, Naomi Binstead reminded people who wanted to travel interstate, particularly to COVID-19 affected areas, that travel must be for approved reasons only and any returning ACT residents would be required to complete necessary travel exemptions and declarations.
“Our priority is ensuring that people continue to stay healthy and well, and out of hospital if possible,” Superintendent Binstead said.
“The last thing we would want to see is people being too relaxed with the easing of restrictions and becoming unwell, when we have worked so hard to look after each other,” she said.
“We want people to enjoy the eased restrictions, but stay aware, get tested if you start to feel unwell, continue to check in and maintain good hygiene.”
Superintendent Binstead urged people to continue to be vigilant in mask wearing and social distancing to 1.5m wherever possible.
