A 4-year-old tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York has tested positive for COVID-19
A tiger at New York's Bronx Zoo has tested positive for COVID-19, the institution said Sunday, and is believed to have contracted the virus from a caretaker who was asymptomatic at the time.
The four-year-old Malayan tiger named Nadia along with her sister Azul, two Amur tigers and three African lions all developed dry coughs and are expected to fully recover, the Wildlife Conservation Society that runs the city's zoos said in a statement.
All four of the zoos and the aquarium in New York - whose virus death toll has topped 4,000 - have been closed since March 16.
