NPR: Gorilla Gets Monoclonal Antibody Therapy For COVID-19
A gorilla at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido, Calif., underwent
monoclonal antibody therapy after contracting COVID-19 this month. Winston, an
elderly silverback gorilla, and several of his troop members tested positive
for the coronavirus after they had symptoms such as mild coughing. Veterinary
staff, concerned about Winston's age and underlying medical conditions,
performed a diagnostic examination on him, a zoo statement said. He was found
to have pneumonia and heart disease. (Jones, 1/25)
