India closes all tiger reserves after COVID-19 outbreaks in zoos
The Indian government has ordered the temporary closure of all tiger reserves to tourism after COVID-19 outbreaks in zoos around the country.
The National Tiger Conservation Authority issued its order after the death of a coronavirus-positive lioness.
The latest outbreak took place at the Arignar Anna Zoological Park in Chennai, the Tamil Nadu state government said in a news release.
