Covid 19 Protection Framework (Traffic Lights) setting:  ORANGE

We have decided that the best way to ensure the well-being of our community, our visitors, and our staff is to require people entering Cambridge Museum to be double vaccinated. We have made this decision after weighing up the risks and benefits, and especially considering our visitors under 12 who cannot currently be vaccinated.

We consider that requiring double vaccination will make Cambridge Museum as safe as it can be, and keep the museum accessible for as many our community as possible.

What you need to know from Monday 13 Dec

• Be prepared to show your Vaccination Pass

Visitors aged 12 and over will be asked to show a Vaccination Pass (digital or hard copy) to our staff when they enter the Museum.

• Scan in

Scan in using the NZ COVID Tracer app, which is clearly displayed on signage when you enter. If you don’t have a mobile device to scan the QR code, please sign in manually.

• Wear a mask

Masks are mandatory at all times within the Museum for visitors aged 12 or over.

• Keep your distance

Keep one metre apart from other visitors and staff. We’ll be keeping a close eye on visitor numbers to ensure there’s enough space for everyone to be safely distanced while enjoying their visit.
