Zoo Atlanta Addresses Safety Measures During COVID-19 Pandemic

Dr. Hayley Murphy, Zoo Atlanta’s deputy director, is shown with a statue of one of the zoo’s most famous residents of all time, the late Willie B. As the zoo deals with restrictions during the pandemic, Murphy said, “We are not in danger of closing, but we certainly are not enjoying financial stability.”

Zoo Atlanta is another Georgia entity that some would say is struggling and trying to survive the pandemic.

The over-130-year-old zoo reopened in May after the state’s shutdown earlier this year of all nonessential businesses in order to help combat the spread of the coronavirus.

Since then, Zoo Atlanta officials have had visitors make reservations online, via the zoo’s website, so that they have a scheduled, defined tour time.
