Coronavirus: Tiger at Bronx Zoo tests positive for Covid-19 – BBC News
A four-year-old female Malayan tiger at the Bronx Zoo has tested positive for the coronavirus.
The tiger, named Nadia, is believed to be the first known case of an animal infected with Covid-19 in the US.
The Bronx Zoo, in New York City, says the test result was confirmed by the National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Iowa.
Nadia, along with six other big cats, is thought to have been infected by an asymptomatic zoo keeper.
The cats started showing symptoms, including a dry cough, late last month after exposure to the employee, who has not been identified.
“This is the first time that any of us know of anywhere in the world that a person infected the animal and the animal got sick,” Paul Calle, the chief veterinarian at the zoo, told Reuters news agency on Sunday.

US President Donald Trump has posted on Truth Social, warning: “a whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again” unless Iran reaches a deal on reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump has given Iran a deadline of 20:00 EDT Tuesday (00:00 GMT / 01:00 BST on Wednesday) to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The threat came one day after Trump said the US would destroy “every bridge” and power station in Iran if a deal isn’t reached.
Meanwhile, his Vice President JD Vance – speaking at a press conference in Budapest – says that it’s up to Iran to “come to the table”, or the “economic situation in Iran will continue to be very, very bad”.
In mainland Iran, two people have reportedly been killed after a strike on a railway bridge, while train services have been cancelled, according to reports from Iranian media.

US President Donald Trump says he has agreed to a proposed two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran if shipping traffic is allowed to move through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has announced Iran will agree to a ceasefire “if attacks against Iran are halted”.
The US president had set a deadline of 20:00 EDT (01:00 GMT) for a deal or else “a whole civilisation will die tonight”.
Pakistan, which has been acting as a mediator, called on Trump to extend his deadline for two weeks, and has invited both sides for talks in Islamabad on Friday.

Sir Olly Robbins, the former chief Foreign Office official, was ousted by Starmer on Thursday after it was revealed that Mandelson had failed the foreign office vetting programme. The key questions are still to be answered formally over who knew what, and when.
The PM is set to appear in the Commons on Monday, and Olly Robbins is expected to be grilled by MPs on Tuesday. But how exactly did we get here? What are the key questions Starmer and Robbins need to answer? And could this be the final nail in the coffin for Keir Starmer’s premiership?
