The ACT has recorded 23 new COVID-19 cases after extending lockdown for another two weeks, with at least 11 people infectious in the community.
The vaccines are being distributed on a per capita basis, meaning the territory will receive about a day's worth of vaccinations.Meanwhile, authorities are concerned about the risk of future anti-vaccination and anti-lockdown protests following the arrest of three people on Tuesday.
With another two weeks of lockdown ahead, the ACT is relaxing some restrictions including allowing small weddings, funerals and outdoor gatherings. Asked about the prospect of live community events being held in coming months, Mr Barr told reporters:"I would not be planning a major event this year, no."
