The 4-year-old female Malayan tiger tested positive after developing a dry cough and is expected to recover, the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo said in a news release.
Samples from Nadia were taken and tested after the tiger -- and five other tigers and lions at the zoo -- began showing symptoms of respiratory illness, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). No other animals at the zoo are showing symptoms.
The animals were infected by a zoo employee who was "asymptomatically infected with the virus" while caring for them, according to the zoo. The Bronx Zoo has been closed to the public since March 16.

Тигр в Бронкском зоопарке заболел Ковидом19. Тест положительный. Заразился от сотрудника, который за тиграми ухаживал. Тигр вроде не сильно болеет, значит поправится. Но пандемия может уйти в кошек и тогда опять мутировать и - по новой, может с ещё бОльшей смертностью и естественно, никакого иммунитета у переболевших Ковидом19.
