Chief Minister Andrew Barr says "now is not the time for a federal resumption" as Canberra struggles with a growing cluster and has slipped the territory into an additional two-week lockdown.

The nation's capital will be on lockdown for seven days starting at 5:00 p.m. today after a positive COVID-19 case was found on the ACT.

An emergency meeting of the ACT government is due to discuss the possibility of an immediate lockdown in Canberra and the ACT.
