The corona eruption in the United States reached a new victim Monday, who did not even know he was capable of contracting the disease. Nadia, a Malay tigress who lives in the Bronx Zoo in New York City, was diagnosed with Corona.

The four-year-old tiger has started showing symptoms of high fever and difficulty breathing, but the zoo claims that her condition is improving and that there is no threat to Nadia's animal. Nadia is the only one of the five big cats at the zoo, three tigers and a pair of lions, which showed signs of coronary disease, being tested, with the result coming back positive.

"Although they have shown some loss of appetite, the big cats at the Bronx Zoo are in good vigilant care and are alert, alert, and interacting with caregivers at this stage. Written in a formal zoo announcement.

The zoo admitted that the animals were infected by a zoo employee, who was himself diagnosed as a patient but showed no symptoms of the disease and was not suspected as a patient. The zoo was closed to the public much earlier, in mid-March.

The U.S. Department of Health has warned patients in Corona not to come in contact with animals, even pets. The first case of a cat infected with its owner in Corona was documented in Belgium, the cat developed a mild cough but the disease did not develop beyond that.
