: BJP leader Maneka Gandhi on Tuesday said that cats cannot spread or get infected by the coronavirus.

New Delhi [India], April 7 (ANI): BJP leader Maneka Gandhi on Tuesday said that cats cannot spread or get infected by the coronavirus and that they are completely safe to be around.
"Cats cannot transmit or get coronavirus. If you have seen some nonsensical thing on TV that some tiger in one zoo has got the disease. Remember this, a cat is not a tiger, there is no relationship. Your cats are completely safe to be around," Maneka Gandhi said in a video released by her.
This comes after a tiger in a US zoo tested positive for the virus following which the Central Zoo Authority (CZA) asked all zoos across the country to monitor the health of kept animals as a precautionary measure to contain the spread of COVID-19.
On Monday, a tiger housed at the Bronx Zoo in New York tested positive for coronavirus, making it the first known infection in an animal anywhere, according to US Department of Agriculture's National Veterinary Services Laboratories. (ANI)

In an 'X' post, TMC said the government has "ek hi naara, line mein rahe desh bechara," pointing to past governmental measures including demonetisation, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the Special Identification Registration (SIR), and now the LPG shortage.

The post also highlighted the 2020 COVID-19 oxygen crisis, when families stood in long lines outside hospitals and suppliers as the public health system collapsed.
