Woman Who Came Into Accidental Contact With Escaped CDC Monkeys Shares Update

During an accident on an interstate highway in Pennsylvania, three CDC test monkeys escaped from a truck. When the truck crashed, about 100 monkeys were inside. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it was keeping an eye on local individuals for cold-like symptoms. A woman who was in contact with the monkeys today provided an update on her condition as well as a firsthand account of the occurrence. The Epoch Times Reports–

“A woman who said she came into contact with escaped monkeys in Pennsylvania several days ago said that she’s not sick.

“I want people to know I am not sick, I found out I was at a birthday party Friday night and people there had COVID-19,” Michelle Fallon told local news outlet the Daily Item. “I was exposed to the monkeys and exposed to people with COVID. It was the worst day of my life.”

Fallon, meanwhile, said she was only taking precautions from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state health officials.

“I explained what happened and they said I was at very low risk of anything but I went to get checked out anyway because I started to not feel well,” Fallon told the newspaper. “I want people to know I am not sick regardless of what they are reading that has been put out there in the media,” she continued. “I only spoke to a few media outlets but I have been talking to PETA.”
