Scientists Test for Animal-to-Human Transmission of COVID-19

Researchers from the University of Minnesota are looking for a connection between the pandemic and wildlife. They are trying to figure out how prevalent COVID-19 is in wildlife, and if coronavirus may be spreading from animals to humans. To test for coronavirus, the animals undergo the same dreaded test as humans: the nasal swab. Despite many theories of animal to human transmission, scientists have not agreed on the exact origins of COVID-19.
