A zoo has said news that it will not be allowed to reopen during this phase of the government's easing up of the Covid-19 lockdown was "very unwelcome".
Linton Zoo, external near Cambridge said on its Facebook page it looked like it would "be at least another month before we can open our gates and welcome visitors back into the zoo. This was not the news we were hoping to hear".
The spokesman said that despite support from the community the lack of visitors meant that at a time when it should be "starting to save up for the quiet winter season" it was now thinking of how it was "going to make it through to this time next year".
The zoo thanked everyone who had supported the zoo.
"The generosity of all of our visitors and friends of the zoo has, without a doubt, helped us continue to provide the first class care that all of our animals receive," said the spokesman.

Temporary cycle lanes, put in place in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, pose a hazard to riders, campaign group Camcycle, external claims.
Cambridgeshire County Counci, externall has painted lanes on to a number of roads in the county as part of wider efforts to make more space available for pedestrians and cyclists.
But the design of the new measures, put in place much more quickly than usual road layout changes, has prompted criticism.
Pictures posted on social media show in one case parked cars, in another potholes, blocking the new cycle lanes, which campaigners say raise safety concerns.
Camcycle, although in favour of the general strategy, said: “Narrow advisory painted lanes, such as those added in Milton and Girton, offer no protection from motor traffic and are potentially more unsafe than no lanes at all, encouraging drivers to treat the cycle lane marking as the edge of the carriageway and pass dangerously close to riders.”
Highways and transport committee chairman, Conservative councillor Ian Bates, said: “We have made these cycle enhancements as quickly as we can due to the special times we’re in and to help people cycle wherever possible.”
