4 primates test positive for COVID-19 at Dehiwala zoo Two chimpanzees and two orangutans at the Dehiwala Zoo have tested positive for COVID-19. State Minister of Wildlife Wimalaweera Dissanayake said that there was no change in the behavior and eating habits of the animals. As a result, he said, another PCR test would be conducted to confirm whether they continue to remain infected with COVID-19. The four animals have been separated from the rest of the animals and sent for quarantine. A lion and a lioness at the Dehiwala Zoo earlier tested positive for COVID-19. State Minister Wimalaweera Dissanayake stated that both the animals have recovered.
