Twelve schools have been affected by COVID-19 exposures in recent days, with Canberra Girls Grammar School, St Clare's College and Lanyon High School being added on Monday.
The territory recorded 13 new cases of the virus on Monday, with one person in hospital, while the vaccination rate now stands at 95.1 per cent.
Canberra's path out of lockdown may become somewhat shorter, with Chief Minister Andrew Barr to meet with the ACT emergency cabinet today to discuss some possible fast-tracked freedoms.
Restrictions ease today across NSW for vaccinated people.
Under the previously flagged changes, there will be no limit on home visitors and as many as 1000 people can gather outdoors.
