One question

How are scientists working with bats navigating the possibility of spills?

It is likely that SARS-CoV-2 can be extracted from Chinese bats before jumping on another animal and then on humans. But now people are at risk spreading the virus back in animal populations, a phenomenon called spillback. To avoid this, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have recently issued guidelines for biologists working with bats, suggesting that the masks will carry internal protective equipment. Scientists and wildlife managers have a relatively low chance of transmitting the coronavirus to bats, but North American bat populations in particular have been devastated by disease in recent years. Now, they are the most human rotate them to protect them.
