Monkeys attack health worker, steal and chew test kit containing blood sample of patients who tested positive for the coronavirus (viral video)
While the entire world is appreciating the efforts of health workers and other officials at the front line of the war against coronavirus disease, some monkeys visited the front line for some other wacky reasons. The monkeys seem not to be on the same page with the rest of the world on the coronavirus pandemic.

Authorities in India say a troop of monkeys attacked a medical official and stole blood samples belonging to patients who had tested positive for the coronavirus.

A lab technician at a state-run medical college in Meerut was walking across campus when some rhesus macaques converged on him.

The monkeys then snatched away blood samples that the lab tech was carrying that came from four COVID-19 patients who are undergoing treatment, according to Reuters.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing a monkey chewing on one of the sample collection kits while sitting at the top of a tree, according to India.com.

Reports have it that the monkeys left parts of the stolen kits scattered on the ground, concerning local officials.

Dr. S. K. Garg, an official at the college where the monkey attack occurred, told Reuters he wasn’t sure if the monkeys might contract the coronavirus if they have come into contact with infected blood.

“No evidence has been found that monkeys can contract the infection,” Garg said.

SkyNews reports that since lockdown measures were imposed two months ago in the area, monkeys have been congregating in places that are normally crowded with humans.

However, some observers believe that many of the primates are struggling because the human food they normally consume has been severely reduced.

What a wacky meal for the monkeys. Probably they thought it was pizza mixed with expensive French wine. Lol!

Below is video showing one of the monkeys chewing the test kits containing the blood sample of positive coronavirus cases.

Another palava...

But I've heard people talk about how intelligent monkeys are. This one is so dumb sha. If the virus affects monkeys, RIP in advance.

But who knows, this might probably help the researchers discover something new.

I advise that the leave the blood samples to the monkeys. Perhaps they stole the blood sample to take it to their laboratory on the tree and see if they can come up with a solution to the menace.
