A flock of monkeys in India attacked a laboratory technician carrying blood samples of infected COVID-19. Judging by the video, the gang managed to not only steal samples, but also to chew protective gloves.

Monkey steals #COVID patients' blood samples in UP, eats surgical gloves Read more here: https: // t. co / UdCNmMMdFh pic. twitter. com / hA54nEldKk - NDTV (@ndtv) May 29, 2020 A strange incident in India was reported on May 29 by India Today. In Merath, a flock of monkeys attacked a laboratory assistant from a local medical college. He carried blood samples from patients suspected of coronavirus. Blood just had to test and confirm the diagnosis.

But the monkeys who stole all the samples intervened in the plans. On Twitter, a video immediately spread out, on which one of them chews something similar to a glove. India Today writes that this is part of the COVID-19 test kit.

One of the college workers said that this happens often. Local animals aggressively attack Meratha residents. A few hours after the incident, the monkeys were still not found. And doctors fear that the samples remain in the monkeys.
