Osnabrück (dpa / lni) - After exceeding the 100 incidence, Osnabrück Zoo has to close again from Wednesday in the corona crisis.
"It hurts both in the heart and in the wallet, the children are so happy," said spokeswoman Lisa Simon.
The city has closings in retail, cultural institutions and the zoo due to the high number of infections.
At the same time, the city appealed to the country to enable sensible and low-risk opening.
This also includes opening the zoo.
There the guests are in the open air and can keep their distance as long as the number of visitors is limited.
"For us it is also slowly about survival," said Fritz Brickwedde, President of the Osnabrück Zoo Society.
“The busy time of visitors begins in spring with the Easter holidays.
We normally make up for losses that we make in winter from April onwards and also create reserves for the end of the year. "
Currently one is once again dependent on donations to cover at least part of the costs.
After four months of closure, the first Lower Saxony zoos and animal parks were only allowed to open last Monday.
According to the new Corona regulation, this is possible in rural districts and urban districts, in which the incidence of 100 is not exceeded.
The number indicates how many people per 100,000 inhabitants have contracted the coronavirus in the past seven days.

In the Osnabrück Zoo, the online appointment offer was very well received, as the zoo's spokeswoman said.
The daily capacity of 2000 visitors had almost been reached.
The zoo also called for outdoor facilities to be assessed differently than museums and galleries, for example.
