The last case that was under investigation, a young woman, was found to have acquired the virus while she was overseas.
Figures show the total number of coronavirus cases diagnosed in the ACT remain at 106, while 101 have recovered from the virus.
The death toll in the ACT still stands at three.
More than 200 coronavirus tests were carried out in the past 24 hours, bringing the total to 8242.
ACT Health Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith there had been 804 tests conducted since Friday when the ACT expanded eligibility for testing for two weeks to anybody with coronavirus symptoms.
She encouraged Canberrans to go to the EPIC drive through or Weston Creek walk-in centre if they had symptoms including a fever, sore throat or dry cough.
"You may think it's only a slim possibility that you have COVID-19, and indeed it is a very slim possibility, but in being part of this broad testing, surveillance testing regime you're actually helping the whole community know whether there is any undetected COVID-19 in our community. And that will help us make decisions about where we go next in terms of easing restrictions."
Ms Stephen-Smith said those who did not have access to medicare, including temporary entrants, temporary visa holders and people from countries without a Reciprocal Health Care Arrangement would not have to pay for testing and treatment related to COVID-19.
The decision is retrospective to January 21 and the cost of the scheme will be shared equally between the ACT Government and Commonwealth.
Ms Stephen-Smith said there was no evidence of cases going undiagnosed ACT due to temporary residents not having access to Medicare.
"What we really want to see is that anyone who needs testing or needs treatment for COVID-19 will go and get that testing and treatment and will not be concerned about any financial barrier to treatment," she said.
ACT chief health officer Dr Kerryn Coleman urged Canberrans to keep up social distancing measures.
"We're in a great position thanks to physical distancing requirements and our attention to good hand and respiratory hygiene," she said.
"Please keep this focus and do not become complacent.
"Remaining vigilant will help the most vulnerable members in our community."
