Does COVID-19 pose a threat to lemurs?
for North Carolina Weekend on PBS NC

Producer, Editor

We know COVID-19 poses a certain threat to humans, but what about lemurs?

In early 2020, the Duke Lemur Center delivered two Sifaka lemurs, some of the rarest animals on Earth. Shortly thereafter, it closed its doors to visitors. In this story, we ‘revisit’ the center to see how it has adapted, and we greet some of its new residents.


North Carolina Weekend, PBS NC's top-rated local program, is a popular travel and tourism show that showcases and promotes local businesses, cultural attractions, bed & breakfasts, state parks, and more, highlighting the best things to see and do across the state each weekend.
