All six captive elephants at the Elephant Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre in M.R. Palayam in the district have tested negative for COVID-19, forest officials said on Wednesday. The female elephants were subjected to COVID-19 test, which was carried out last Friday by a veterinary team of the Forest Department. Swab samples were collected from each pachyderm. The tests were conducted due to the death of a lion because of COVID-19 at Vandalur Zoological Park near Chennai and a few other lions testing positive for the viral infection recently.More Related News
