Not the Only Species

Some people may think that the plight of endangered primate species is 'small beer' when contrasted with the threat to humans posed by Covid-19. The threat of extinction to wild animals like the Mountain gorilla and the 'Common' chimpanzee is, however, real.  These closely-related species are able to 'share' human diseases but the only way they could become infected by Covid-19 is by catching the condition from human visitors (https://news.yahoo.com/africas-mountain-gorillas-risk-coronavirus-091258411.html). As humans with Covid-19 can be unsymptomatic for periods of time, it is timely that a total ban on visitors is being advocated. People with cold and 'flu symptoms were already restricted in terms of access, but the coronavirus could be much worse! Just an additional thought. What about endangered primate species in zoos?
