Can Bats Catch the Latest Variants of COVID-19?

My understanding is the COVID-19 originally jumped from bats to humans. Is it possible for the latest variants, like delta or lambda, to be transmitted to bats?

Bats can absolutely be infected with viruses like Covid-19. They do have ACE2-Receptors used by SARS-CoV-2 to dock on.

Bats are much more immune to consequences of most in humans highly pathological viruses tho. So, yes, they can host the virus, but they are not likely to get anywhere, or at all, as sick as humans would.

Coronaviruses, also SARS-like ones, in bats are very common.
