Baton Roue Zoo postpones some events
BREC鈥檚 香港六和开奖历史记录 Zoo announced Friday it plans to remain open. The Zoo鈥檚 aquarium will close until further notice, due to being a high touch zone, according to a news release. The Zoo鈥檚 50th birthday celebration, Zippity ZooFest, originally scheduled for March 28-29, will be postponed. A rescheduled date is to be determined.
The zoo takes steps year-round to help keep everyone at the facility as healthy as possible. With the first priority being the safety of guests, staff, volunteers, and animals, the Zoo is taking extra measures in light of recent health concerns to help keep everyone healthy during the coronavirus pandemic.
- Increasing the frequency of cleaning in high-touch areas throughout the Zoo
- increasing the availability of hand-sanitizers in guest areas and offices
- Communicating best practices for maintaining healthy work environments to staff/volunteers
- Following all federal, state and local recommendations
- Closely monitoring real-time updates from the Centers for Disease Control
- Constant monitoring of this very fluid situation
- Any major updates will be posted at
鈥淭he zoo is a remarkable venue for the community to enjoy some fresh air, wild animals, nature and some much-needed calm at this tumultuous time. There are clearly some challenging times ahead, but these are the times when the strength of our communities really shine through,鈥 said Phil Frost, zoo director.
