reports nervously watching
and waiting for what happens next
these days it's not so different in the
human world it's definitely made us
think of where we go and what we do
as a family we do a lot more outdoor
things as opposed to wind or just so we
can win away from
people i think if everyone does their
part the sooner we get it over and done
with
the quicker we'll be on the other end i
think
and in the meantime this wildlife park
is a welcome distraction
but from today strict travel guidance
means it can only rely on local people
but is it enough to keep it going
looking forward it's a really scary time
for us as you can imagine all these
wonderful animals that are entrusted
into our care
we need to make sure they're kept safe
and their welfare is not impacted by
covid
it's important that people can come to
us and so the money keeps coming in so
we can keep looking after these
wonderful animals
how different it feels in the city
center
this pub has been forced to shut it's
stressful
and sad it's not just the business
that's at risk
dave lives here too but he's still
thinking of others
customers missiles we miss them we use
it all their shopping for some of them
we're going to be limited now because we
can't go to their house we'll have to
leave it outside the door for
which a lot of people do anyway and
that's the type of person we are
you know we are community
don't know whether you're coming and
going it feels like the world's going to
an end slowly
it really does it should have never
happened in first place we should have
stayed in lockdown
all the months ago traders here say they
need
a clear plan a plan for coming out of
stricter measures
and that's something that the mayor for
the sheffield city region
has also asked for from the government
and he says that
areas also need clear guidance for going
into stricter measures too
areas like nottingham which has more
cases than doncaster
it's expected to be moved into the
highest tier next week
please keep a polar bear's length of two
meters apart for respectful social
distancing
a review on the south yorkshire measures
is expected in 28 days
until then it's about making the most of
what they can do it's just nice to
come out and just try and have you know
family time and a bit of sense of
normality especially for
you know for little ones while some are
used to the cold weather others are now
embracing it
