The territory's effective reproductive rate is about 1, which means each infected person infects another.
The ACT reported 20 new cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm on Tuesday, including seven people who had been in the community for at least part of their infectious period.
There are now 10 people in hospital, with two people being treated in intensive care. One person requires ventilation.
On Tuesday night, ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said about 85 per cent of the territory's cases were linked, but "there are still mystery cases even in a community that's not quite half a million people".
Meanwhile, there will be changes to testing clinics from today, with the Weston Creek walk-in centre and Brindabella Park testing centre now closed.
