3 more lions recover from COVID in Vandalur Zoo

Three lions at Arignar Anna Zoological Park, Vandalur, that had tested COVID positive have recovered from the infection while the results for five other lions are awaited, said officials.

“Earlier, faecal samples had tested negative. Now, we have taken nasal and rectal swabs of three lions, including one at the safari, and the results are negative. We cannot collect the samples together, because we have to squeeze the animal to take the sample. In order to not stress the animals unnecessarily, we took samples in phases. The results of the remaining lions are expected in a couple of days,” said Naga Sathish, Deputy Director of the zoo.
