COVID‐19 threatens endangered mountain gorilla populations due to close human contact. A cross‐sectional study (n = 576) in communities around Bwindi–Mgahinga Conservation Area found 8.0% prevalence of SARS‐CoV2. Frequent handwashing was a predictor for reduced prevalence of SARS‐CoV2. Strengthening prevention measures is critical to limit transmission
