Several gorillas are back in public view for visitors at the San Diego Zoo after making a full recovery from Covid-19, according to an update from the zoo.

Eight western lowland gorillas caught the West Coast variant of the virus, despite employees adhering to all recommended biosecurity precautions, zoo officials said. A surge of Covid-19 cases in California in December and January included the variant that experts say may be more contagious than other strands of the virus.

Due to concerns over Winston's age and underlying medical conditions, veterinarians performed a diagnostic examination and were able to confirm he had pneumonia and heart disease, San Diego Zoo Safari Park said in a news release.From a supply not permitted for human use, Winston received monoclonal antibody therapy, heart medications and antibiotics.
