GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) -- The Greenville Zoo has opened it gates again after being closed for the last two months due to the coronavirus. The opening is exclusively for it's members Friday May 29th through Sunday May 31st according to Zoo officials. Zoo Members are asked to make online reservations so the amount of people in the Zoo at one time can be monitored, according to Lynn Watkins, the Education Curator for the Greenville Zoo. "We have social distancing markers, we have hand sanitizers located throughout, water fountains are closed, our concessions is open, our gift shop is open but there's a limited capacity," said Watkins. Today hundreds of people showed up at their reserved times to walk around and enjoy the animals. Jasmine Ho and her son traveled all the way from Raleigh, North Carolina to come to the Zoo. "The best part is seeing all the animals and how they're cared for. We get a lot of walking so there's nice exercise and the fresh air so that's always nice," said Ho. The Curator says the Zoo will be open to the general public on June 8, 2020 and that all visitors will need to schedule a reservation online to be able to get inside.

Thousands of Ear Savers donated to Prisma Health for healthcare workers

GREENVILLE COUNTY, SC (FOX Carolina) Inside Prisma Health Upstate, doctors and nurses are on the frontlines of the coronavirus fight. So, they’re equipped with masks and this Ear Saver. “This takes the pressure off of your ears and shifts in onto the back of your head,” Cody Reynolds said. He’s the technology transfer manager with Prisma Health. When he learned about the discomfort of wearing masks for several hours from healthcare workers, he and those with the Rapid Innovation Task Force worked on a solution. “It makes it more comfortable to wear because it’s not putting too much strain and damaging that ear tissue,” Reynolds said. He did some research and found the Ear Saver, which wraps around the straps of masks. “We’ve asked to MSI Mold Builders to manufacture one for each of our 30,000 employees,” Reynolds said. Roger Klouda is the president at MSI Mold Builders and there is a plant in Greenville County. “We manufacture plastic injection molds. We do everything from molds that weigh 100-150 pounds to molds that weigh 187,000 pounds,” Klouda said. ”We were actually quite excited about the opportunity to help the community here and Prisma.” He says manufacturing took a hit with COVID-19 and sales are down 30 percent, but he says donating those Ear Savers gives employees a different kind of boost. “We have made to date almost 60,000 of these Ear Savers,” he said.“Being able to make a mold make parts and makes somebody’s life better even if it’s just as simple as making them more comfortable, we’re all for it.” Klouda and Reynolds say the Ear Savers help keep healthcare workers and those they come in contact with safe.
