We all know how people recently enough have been quarantined and it’s been a hard time. Including the fact that people getting tested for covid-19 and actually resulting positive has begun to sky rocket in the U.S. But interesting enough humans aren’t the only ones resulting positive with Covid-19. Nadia, a 4 year old Malayan Tiger at the Bronx Zoo, has tested positive for the Covid-19 Coronavirus. She is the first of her kind to test positive for the virus.In a statement that was released Sunday, the Bronx Zoo said Nadia, her sister Azul, two Amur tigers, and three African lions recently developed dry coughs, however none of the other animals are showing symptoms of Covid-19. The cats have all experienced some decrease in appetite, but otherwise are “doing well under veterinary care and are bright, alert, and interactive with their keepers”. All of them are expected to make a full recovery. The zoo said the cats were “infected by a person caring for them who was asymptomatically infected with the virus or before that person developed symptoms”.
