Historical information

On Sunday 31 January 2021 the Western Australian Government announced that the Perth metropolitan area and the Peel and South West regions were moving into a five day lock down followed by a seven day period when people in the Perth metropolitan region would be required to wear masks when outside of their homes. The City of Armadale issues the KN95 masks for all staff and volunteers to wear when working at the City. These masks were issued to History House but were not used when the mask mandate ended at 12:01am on Sunday February 14 2021.
