Bangladesh zoo enjoys baby boom amid visitor absence

Description

Bangladesh's largest zoo says it has seen a record increase in animal births in recent months after it had to close its doors due to the coronavirus pandemic. "The animals are eating food properly because there are no visitors. And they can also breed better now due to the absence of crowds," says one zoo official.

TRANSLATIONS:1.AILEEN JOKTOWN, PATIENT AT HEALTH CENTER IN MANILA. The hospitals we go to for medical check-ups are sometimes closed. Sometimes they don't accept pregnant women, that's our complaint. And when we give birth, the hospitals don't accept us because they are full of patients. They send you to other hospitals, but the next hospital won't accept you either, leading to miscarriages and the death of babies. (00.44-01.22).2. JOCELYN PASCUA, PATIENT AT HEALTH CENTER IN MANILA. The confinement is very strict. I wanted to come here but it was very hard. My husband is a worker. He does not make a lot of money. I prefer to buy food for my family rather than use the money to come here. (01.30-01:57).
