It is pertinent to mention that ACE2s in animals, which are abundantly sacrificed during the Eid-Ul-Adha, have the ability to contract SARS-CoV-2, like humans. We believe that risks of zoonotic transmission of COVID-19 should be considered during the preparation of festive celebrations, and immediate measures must be taken to avoid any possible surge in COVID-19 cases during the Eid-Ul-Adha. ./cache/cord-266983-hpwebkbi.txt ./txt/cord-266983-hpwebkbi.txt
