A tiger at Bronx Zoo, in New York City, has tested positive for Covid-19, the Wildlife Conservation Society announced in a declaration today.

According to the Mirror, Six other tigers and lions at the zoo are also revealing symptoms, but have not yet been tested.

Nadia, a four-year-old female Malayan tiger, was tested out of an ‘abundance of caution’. She had developed a dry cough and a decrease in appetite.

Her sister Azul, two Amur tigers and three African lions are also suffering symptoms, but all of the cats, including Nadia, are anticipated to recover.
