The territory has not registered a new confirmed case since July 10, with its total since the start of the pandemic remaining at 113.
Just one of those cases is still active, with three people having died and the other 109 confirmed as having recovered.
There were 629 negative tests in the 24 hours to lunchtime on Sunday.
On Sunday afternoon, ACT Health urged Canberrans not to travel interstate to areas where COVID-19 outbreaks were occurring.
"A public health direction remains in place for a number of affected locations in NSW," ACT Health said in a statement.
"This direction legally requires anyone who has been in some of the affected locations identified by NSW Health to self-quarantine for 14 days from the date they were there, even if they do not have any symptoms."
These locations are:
- Batemans Bay Soldiers Club - on July 13 or from July 15 to 17
- Crossroads Hotel in Casula - between July 3 and July 10
- Planet Fitness in Casula - between July 4 and July 10
- Picton Hotel in Picton - on July 4, 5, 9 or 10
"People who visited these locations on the specified dates are asked to get in contact with ACT Health through the COVID-19 Helpline on (02) 6207 7244 so we can support individuals through their quarantine," ACT Health said.
"These people are also encouraged to get tested for COVID-19 even if they have no symptoms."
Residents of the territory have also been reminded that anyone who has been to Victoria in the last two weeks must notify ACT Health before returning.
On Sunday, Victoria recorded its deadliest single day toll since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
Premier Daniel Andrews announced that another 10 people had died from COVID-19 and that 459 new cases had been confirmed.
