LUCKNOW, India: A troop of monkeys in India attacked a medical official and snatched away blood samples of patients who had tested positive for COVID-19, authorities said on Friday .
The attack occurred this week when a laboratory technician was walking in the campus of a state-run medical college in Meerut, 460km north of Lucknow, capital of Uttar Pradesh state."Monkeys grabbed and fled with the blood samples of four COVID-19 patients who are undergoing treatment ... we had to take their blood samples again," said Dr SK Garg, a top official at the college.
Garg said it was not clear if the monkeys could contract the coronavirus if they came into contact with infected blood."No evidence has been found that monkeys can contract the infection," Garg told Reuters. The virus is believed to have jumped from animals into people in a wildlife market in the Chinese city of Wuhan late last year.India has had 165,799 cases of the coronavirus and 4,706 deaths.
Monkeys have been increasingly straying into human settlements in India and causing disturbances, even attacking people. Environmentalists say the destruction of natural habitat is the main reason the animals move into urban areas in search of food.
Lost to monkeys
Seems that desperate efforts to develop a vaccine have extended beyond the human race
