Zoos to reopen
« on: June 10, 2020, 08:39:56 AM »

 :-*Zoos, safari parks and drive-in cinemas are set to reopen in England from Monday, the PM is due to announce.

Boris Johnson is expected to outline the latest step in the easing of the coronavirus lockdown at Wednesday's daily briefing.

He will say the outdoor attractions can reopen as long as they follow social distancing rules.

Some zoos, including Chester Zoo and London Zoo, have reported financial struggles during the pandemic.

A number of Tory MPs and the PM's father, Stanley Johnson, have been calling for zoos to reopen to ensure they survive the crisis.

There is a lovely photo on London/Whipsnade Zoo web-site of a keeper putting down a distancing marker on the floor and a lioness watching: no sign of glass between them  ;D and it could make a good 'caption photo'.
