Seven more big cats— four more tigers and three lions—have tested positive for the #coronavirus at the Bronx Zoo. This comes the same day as two pet cats in New York become the first in the U.S. to test positive. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2020/04/tiger-coronavirus-covid19-positive-test-bronx-zoo/">https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2... @natashaldaly @NatGeo

The zoo has all 8 cats—one of which is not showing symptoms—under veterinary care and says it expects them to recover. While it’s becoming clear humans can pass the disease to some animals, there is currently no evidence that animals can spread the novel coronavirus to people.
