Tiger tests positive for COVID-19 at New York City zoo, first case of its kind in U.S.

CBS News  

A 4-year-old female Malayan tiger at a zoo in New York City has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, according to results from the National Veterinary Services Laboratories at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Late Sunday night, the zoo tweeted that its chief veterinarian, Dr. Paul Calle said, "The COVID-19 testing that was performed on our Malayan tiger Nadia was performed in a veterinary school laboratory and is not the same test as is used for people." The USDA's press release said "there is no evidence that animals play a role in the transmission of COVID-19 to people," except for the initial outbreak at a food market in Wuhan, China. The USDA said "this is the first case of its kind" and "further studies are needed to understand if and how different animals could be affected by COVID-19."
