COVID 19 UPDATE

The COVID-19 pandemic trend is worsening in the country, starting what is now called the second wave. In April, an average of more than 4,000 new cases per week, compared to 1,000 new cases in January.

In this context, the LWC strengthens its effort in making its staff understand the danger of the covid-19 virus for themselves, their families and the animals. Mask use in and out the Centre, hand washing protocols, bleaching of market fruits and vegetables… every action counts, and is reinforced, to avoid an outbreak at the Centre. But those precautionary measures, taken since 2020, represent an increase of 10% of our operational costs. This comes on top of our sponsors freezing their donations for the second year and the LWC being closed since March 2020. The result is that our budget is as low as ever.

Today, it is essential to get funding quickly to ensure the safety of our animals. The goal is to boost the immune system of all the animals at the centre to ensure their survival, and to increase the hygiene and safety inside the centre but also for our staff and their families.
