Deer can be infected with COVID-19 virus

New guidelines for deer hunters? I am sure some can find a cartoon with a dressed up Hunter with his new gear this fall.

Deer can be infected with COVID-19 virus?

https://www.dispatch.com/story/sports/2021/09/05/ohio-deer-carry-covid-virus-how-hunters-can-protect-themselves/5711877001/

A U.S. Department of Agriculture study conducted around the same time showed about a third of the hundreds of deer sampled between January 2020 and March 2021 in Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan and Illinois possessed SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.

What made the Ohio deer results unique was that the active SARS-CoV-2 virus was discovered, not merely antibodies, and the virus was found in about 35 percent of the animals. Those tests, of course, offer a snapshot of the Buckeye State deer landscape months ago, not a guidebook for what lies ahead.
