Which country reported the first potential case of deer-to-human COVID-19 transmission?

  • A. Australia
  • B. Russia
  • C. Canada
  • D. Brazil

Correct Answer: C. Canada

A team of Canadian scientists may have discovered the first case of deer spreading the coronavirus to humans, according to a new preprint study that hasn’t yet been peer-reviewed. Typically, humans spread the virus to deer, and then deer spread it to other deer. But new evidence suggests that the virus could spill over from deer into humans. The researchers identified a COVID-19 case in someone from Ontario who had recently been in contact with deer.
