The previous time the new case numbers dipped this low was back on February 19, when 355 were reported.
However, the number of hospitalisations from COVID cases remains a major concern and a heavy load on the territory's hospital system, with 140 people suffering COVID-related medical issues currently in hospital.
Of these, five people are in intensive care and one person is on a ventilator.
Back on February 19, hospitalisations from COVID were much lower at 40, with two people in ICU and one person on a ventilator.
On Sunday there were 3942 active cases reported in the ACT. The proportion of the ACT population over 16 years with three doses sits at 77.7 per cent.
