The letters were distributed to homes in Downer on Friday, September 25, as well as homes in Braddon and Holt.
Detective Superintendent Stephen Turnbull of the COVID-19 Response Taskforce Detective said the letters were being examined for fingerprints and DNA.
"We are calling for any witnesses who may have observed a person in Downer, Braddon or Holt distributing these COVID-19 letters," Detective Superintendent Turnbull said.
"We are urging residents of these suburbs to check their CCTV or dash-cam footage for any video that may assist in the investigation.
"If members of the public have any concerns regarding COVID-19, the ACT Government has a dedicated website containing extensive information and a COVID-19 hotline - 6207 7244."
Letters containing false claims about the virus were distributed in July throughout Garran and Watson.
