Blood samples from patients who tested positive for the coronavirus have been stolen by a group of monkeys in India, after they snatched them from a medical worker.

Fortunately, the blood samples have since been recovered and were not damaged in the incident as Meerut Medical College superintendent Dheeraj Raj told AFP.

"They were still intact, and we don't think there is any risk of contamination or spread," Mr Raj said.While coronavirus has been detected in animals, such as cats, there is yet to be any confirmation the disease can then be passed on to humans. India's death toll from COVID-19 on Friday passed China's, with 175 new fatalities taking the nation’s total to 4,706.

The samples were found undamaged.

The word 'stolen' sort of implies there was intent on the part of the monkeys and some kind of plan to hold humanity to ransom, 'snatched' would've been a less loaded term

Oh wow... This year is just dribbling the heck out everybody.

India just stole China's excuse.

FIND THEM QUICK!

Charge the person with murder
