FILE PHOTO: A monkey crosses the road near India's Presidential Palace during a 14-hour long curfew to limit the spreading of coronavirus disease in the country, New DelhiLUCKNOW, India - A troop of monkeys in India attacked a medical official and snatched away blood samples of patients who had tested positive for the novel coronavirus, 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, 460 km 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 S. K. Garg, a top official at the college.
Authorities said they were not clear if the monkeys had spilled the blood samples, but people living near the leafy campus feared further spread of the virus if the monkeys carried the samples into residential areas. Garg said it was not clear if the monkeys could contract the coronavirus if they came into contact with infected blood.The virus is believed to have jumped from animals into people in a wildlife market in the Chinese city of Wuhan late last year.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.
Democrats in India Too?
C'mon they are trying to do some research ok?
Imagine there trying to save there fellow monkeys from virus thinking they just finessed the cure 🙃
These monkeys better get the samples from their counterparts. Otherwise, we will have more deaths soon.
This is something I didn’t expect to hear today.
