The Victorian Government has announced that most COVID-19 restrictions will be removed from 11:59pm, Friday 22 April 2022.

For onsite activities at the Chinese Museum this means that school attendees (students, teachers, carers) are:

• Not required to check in using the Service Victoria app or use a manual check in method or supply contact tracing details
• Not required to show their vaccination status before entering
• Not required to wear facemasks inside the Museum, however facemasks are recommended where physical distancing cannot be achieved.
• Any students or staff members who wish to wear a mask may do so, including those who are medically at-risk.

The Chinese Museum will continue to implement the following CovidSafe measures to ensure schools are comfortable and safe during tours, workshops and incursions.

• Frequent professional cleaning and a supply of hand sanitiser throughout the museum.  
• Allow for physical distancing during activities where possible.
• For workshop activities, a sanitised set of materials will be available and re-sanitised after every workshop. 
• Maintenance of a detailed COVIDSafe Plan, available for schools to view upon request.
• Upkeep of a supply of rapid tests for all Chinese Museum team members to access for free, to ensure regular testing.

We encourage teachers to discuss any individual school or cohort Covidsafe needs with us ahead of the visit.  We are happy to accommodate needs where possible.  

Incursions 

• All equipment supplied will be sanitised and programs adapted to be delivered in a COVID-Safe way. Students can use their own materials if preferable. 
• Chinese Museum staff and contractors will observe any additional hygiene protocols that each school has in place.
