ACT health authorities apologise and clarify their advice to interstate travellers after their latest announcement proved confusing and resulted in many Canberrans rushing home from the South Coast last night.

ACT Chief Health Officer Kerryn Coleman told ABC Radio Canberra that she and Health Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith were "extremely sorry" for the confusion.

Unbelievable that the Shoalhaven region was an oversight/error in the ACT Health COVID-10 alert! My brother rushed out of my home last night from Lake Tabourie to return to Canberra before the border restrictions came into place at midnight! No issue with closing the borders, but jeez talk about a big mistake causing unnecessary chaos and stress! Thanks for clarifying.What a stuff-up. Rushed back three nights early last night from Jervis Bay.

The case involves a female Commonwealth official in her 40s who returned from overseas and is in hotel quarantine.
