The surge of Covid-19 in California has just gotten even worse, after at least two gorillas at the San Diego Zoo became infected with Covid-19, the zoo and Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday. 圣地亚哥动物园和州长加文·纽森周一表示，在圣地亚哥动物园至少两只大猩猩感染新冠后，加州新冠疫情的激增变得更加严重。 Three animals are currently showing symptoms of the virus, and it is suspected that they were infected by an asymptomatic staff member, according to a press release. 根据一份新闻稿，目前有3只动物出现病毒症状，怀疑它们是由一名无症状的工作人员感染的。  This is the first known instance of coronavirus in great apes, the zoo said, though previous research has shown that some non-human primates are susceptible. 该动物园表示，这是已知的首例在类人猿身上感染新冠病毒的病例，尽管此前的研究表明，一些非人类灵长类动物也易受感染。 The gorillas live as a family, so it is assumed that all members have been exposed, zoo officials say. 动物园官员说，这些大猩猩是一个家庭生活的，因此推测所有成员都已经暴露在病毒中。 It started last Wednesday, when two zoo gorillas began coughing. 疫情始于上周三，两只动物园的大猩猩开始咳嗽。 A preliminary test within the group showed presence of the virus on Friday, and the US Department of Agriculture's National Veterinary Services Laboratory confirmed the positive results Monday. 周五，对这群大猩猩的初步检测显示病毒存在，美国农业部的国家兽医服务实验室周一证实了阳性结果。 It is unknown whether the gorillas will have any serious reaction, the zoo said, but they are being closely monitored. 动物园表示，目前还不清楚这些大猩猩是否会有严重的反应，但它们正受到密切监视。 "Aside from some congestion and coughing, the gorillas are doing well," said Lisa Peterson, executive director, San Diego Zoo Safari Park. 圣地亚哥野生动物园的执行主任丽莎·彼得森说:“除了有些充血和咳嗽外，大猩猩的情况还不错。”  "The troop remains quarantined together and are eating and drinking. We are hopeful for a full recovery." “这群大猩猩仍然被隔离在一起，一起同吃同喝。我们希望它们能完全康复。” San Diego Zoo has been closed to the public since early December. 自去年十二月初以来，圣地亚哥动物园就不对公众开放了。 California has become an epicenter of Covid-19, with 4,971 patients in the ICU on Monday. 加州已经成为新冠疫情的中心，周一有4971名患者在重症监护室。 Meanwhile, across the country, the total number of Americans with the virus surpassed 22 million over the weekend, according to Johns Hopkins University data, and more than 375,000 have died. 与此同时，根据约翰霍普金斯大学的数据，上周末，全美感染病毒的人数超过2200万，超过37.5万人死亡。 问题 完 感谢关注 跟Amber一起看世界 |
