Hong Kong authorities announced they would kill 2,000 small animals after several hamsters contracted COVID-19 in a pet store, the Associated Press reported.
An employee at the pet store tested positive for the Delta coronavirus variant on Monday in addition to several hamsters imported from the Netherlands, the AP reported. “We cannot exclude the possibility that the shopkeeper was in fact actually infected from the hamsters,” Edwin Tsui, a controller at the Centre for Health Protection, said.
