A four-year-old female Malayan tiger tested positive for COVID-19 at a zoo in The Bronx on April 5. The tiger was showing coronavirus symptoms such as dry cough and loss of appetite. Three tigers and three lions are also showing similar symptoms.

The United States Department of Agriculture confirmed the case after further tests were done by the zoo. The zoo released a statement saying a zookeeper was infected with COVID-19 and passed it on to the animal.

The tigers are currently under isolation from other animals.
