There were 44 new cases of Covid-19 in the community on Friday, 41 in Auckland and three in Waikato. Museums, zoos and art galleries are doing their best to offer free and educational online-based activities, making a treasure trove of resources to help parents pass the time. Auckland Art Gallery has free, downloadable activity sheets that help spur on creativity such as making poi and lightbulb landscapes. At Auckland Zoo children can watch webcams to see how animals are spending their days without visitors and can follow zookeepers using the "staff cam playlist". Auckland Memorial Museum is among a raft of museums and galleries offering online activities for the school holidays.
