Zhang Zhiyin, a nurse at Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, came to the zoo with her 4-year-old son, who had long been asking to go there.

"Today is my day off, and the zoo offers all medical workers free tickets," she said.

Wearing a head cover and two masks, and ensuring that her son was wearing a mask as well, Zhang, who had been treating COVID-19 patients until recently, said she would not let her guard down while enjoying the beautiful spring scenery at the zoo.

Her son, Zhang Jinmu, who had been to the zoo many times before the outbreak, said he really missed his animal friends.

"Going out is much better than staying at home all the time," he said.

Ma Yong, a pediatrician at a hospital in Wuhan, and his wife, also a doctor, brought their 2-year-old son to the zoo.
