The Royal Tyrrell Museum has stepped up its cleaning and sanitizing protocols and remains open for visitors.
According to a statement from the Royal Tyrrell Museum:
“The safety of Albertans is our top priority.
On the advice of the Chief Medical Officer of Health, the Government of Alberta is asking organizers to cancel any events that have more than 250 attendees. At this time, that does not include museums, places of worship, or shopping centres. The Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology continues to be open to the public.
We have increased cleaning in our facility, especially in high traffic areas. All staff and patrons have substantial access to hand sanitizer and handwashing facilities.
All Albertans should practice good hygiene, such as frequent handwashing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and should stay home if feeling ill.
If you are feeling unwell, we ask that you please stay home and away from others.
As a precaution, we have decided to cancel the following programs:
• Our March and April public overnight Camp-In programs
• Our overnight Edutour program for school groups (until April 13)
• All school field trips (until April 13)
• The remainder of our 2020 Speaker Series.
If you have any questions, please contact our bookings office at tyrrell.bookings@gov.ab.ca.
We will continue to closely monitor the situation to determine if additional precautions are needed. We encourage all Albertans and visitors to the Royal Tyrrell Museum to follow the guidelines at alberta.ca/COVID19 to help prevent the spread.”
