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.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
