This is a big deal! This practice has been doing avian care for zoos for decades! 💔😭
Dr. Peter Sakas, owner of Niles Animal Hospital, died March 30 after testing positive for COVID-19 several days earlier, family members said.
One other employee of the animal hospital also tested positive for COVID-19, but was doing “very well” last week and had only mild symptoms, said practice manager Michelle Brown. A second employee was tested, but had not immediately received the results of the test, and several additional employees who were unable to be tested reported feeling sick and remained at home, Brown said last week.
