(Yicai Global) May 27 — Shanghai’s first temporary hospital for animals, used to care for pets belonging to people who test positive for Covid-19 and their close contacts, closed its doors yesterday as the last batch of furry friends were returned to their owners.
Located in downtown Huangpu district, the facility was home to 15 cats and 40 dogs. Volunteer professionals took turns to take care of the animals 24 hours a day, so their owners did not need to worry about them.
