A snow leopard at a Kentucky zoo is the first in the U.S. to test positive for the coronavirus, federal officials announced.
Two other snow leopards at the Louisville Zoo are undergoing testing to confirm the virus, the Department of Agricultures National Veterinary Services Laboratories said in a statement.
Officials took samples from the three large cats after they showed signs of respiratory illness, the statement said, according to AP.
All three showed mild symptoms and are being monitored closely, but are expected to make full recoveries, the Louisville Zoo said in a statement. No other animals were showing symptoms, the zoo said.
