A four-year-old female Malayan tiger at the Bronx Zoo has tested positive for the coronavirus.
The tiger, named Nadia, is believed to be the first known case of an animal infected with Covid-19 in the US.

Nadia, along with six other big cats, is thought to have been infected by an asymptomatic zoo keeper.
