Our doors are open under Covid Alert Level 2

Trish Seddon from Te Awamutu Museum

Nau mai haere mai and welcome back!

We are thrilled to let you know that the Te Awamutu Museum is open at Alert Level 2 from 10am to 4pm Mon - Fri and 10am - 2pm Sat.

Taking care of our community at Alert Level 2

Visitors will be asked to scan our QR code when they enter, or provide their name and contact details to staff if they cannot use the QR code. It is a Government requirement that you keep a record of where you have been (at all Alert Levels) so contact tracing can happen quickly in the event of a Covid-19 outbreak.

While visiting Te Awamutu Museum, you'll need to maintain two-metre physical distancing from other people. To make sure we can keep visitors at a safe distance as they move through the Museum, numbers will be limited to a total of 10 inside the Museum at one time with other limits on specific galleries.

Government requirements mean that it is mandatory for staff and visitors to wear a face covering in public areas at Te Awamutu Museum. This is to keep you, your whānau, and the community safe.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
