2 Hippos Test Positive For Covid-19 In Belgium's Antwerp Zoo

In Belgium's Antwerp Zoo, two hippos have been tested positive for Covid-19, said Francis Vercammen, the zoo's vet. The two hippos namely Imani and Hermein, are aged 14 and 41, respectively. The Hippos have been quarantined after they showed a symptom of runny nose. ''To my knowledge, this is the first time in this species globally,'' added Vercammen. Also, zookeepers haven't shown any symptoms of the virus so far.
