National Archives access in the COVID19 pandemic

The Corona Virus/COVID19 pandemic continues around the world.
In the Australian national assessment announced today, public restrictions here are likely to continue for at least 6 months.

With that in mind, I thought a quick check around Archives and the like for current access notices might be of assistance
