(NEXSTAR) – An unspecified number of otters have tested positive for COVID-19 at Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta.
A handful of Asian small-clawed otters were tested for COVID at the aquarium after they began exhibiting COVID symptoms, including sneezing, runny noses and mild lethargy. Some began coughing, the aquarium said in a Facebook post.
“They are off exhibit and being cared for behind-the-scenes by our expert animal health and care teams,” the aquarium said.
The aquarium suspects the otters contracted the infection from “an asymptomatic staff member,” despite taking extra safety precautions, and stressed that animal to human transmission is “incredibly rare.”

"Really?"
Fauci needs to be in charge of Otters now. Tell them the precautions they otter take.
Umm... so... will they be masking the otters and requiring social distancing?
Getting them to wear masks and socially distance will be a problem.
Perhaps we can shame them on their Twitter accounts with shaming memes.
Why weren’t they wearing masks?
They should’ve been wearing their masks!
Raccoons will counsel them to mask up.
Will they be wearing masks now?
NO, the keepers are all wearing masks.
My little 12 lb Morkie, needed her yearly shots, you are NOT ALLOWED out of your car, a Tech comes and gets your pet, returns half hr later, with bill, then goes and gets your pet. For this I paid $450. The small lump on her head was still there, no explanation. OH, she needs her teeth cleaned that will be $400, she has to be put to sleep to do it. BS, BRUSH THEM THEN, you don’t have to risk putting her to sleep to clean her teeth she doesn’t bite. She gets teeth cleaning chewie’s, kibble.
Zoo animals get BETTER CARE THAN WE DO.
Quick! have daily briefings! order a million masks! order a curfew! set up a testing clinic! start developing an experimental vaccine! develop a zoo vaccine passport! close all businesses! go into a national zoo lockdown! and blame it all on Trump!
Agreed. Fauci otter get right on it
In the late 60s a whale at Sea World caught the Hong Kong Flu
This could be series. So much so that Fauci needs to go to Georgia and personally test the wolverines.
Didn’t some Russian politician expose the Chinavirus nonsense by getting a positive test off of a can of soda or somesuch?
Close, it was a French assemblyman who tested Coke for COVID (positive result).
I had an Otter once.
A wolverine bit my sister.
Mink get it also.
Which is odd.
