Adventure World, an animal park in Shirahama Town, is a popular tourist attraction known for breeding giant pandas and is visited by many tourists throughout the year.

In response to the spread of the new coronavirus, approximately 60 alcohol disinfectants have been installed at various locations, including entrances and restaurants, in animal parks.

The souvenir section, which sells sweets and dried plums, has been strengthening measures to prevent infection, such as by canceling sampling.

Many tourists visited the animal park on the 16th, but masked people were noticeable.

A parent and child from Osaka said, "I saw on the homepage that the number of disinfectants was increasing. I know that I am doing my own prevention, but it is very helpful to take measures at the animal park." I was talking.
