Isn’t this the way every contagion sci-fi movie starts? Pepole told not to approach lab monkey missing after crash...

So the 3 monkeys that escaped and were recaptured had to be euthanized because they "posed a health risk to the public," (after recapture?) but the 97 that did not escape pose no health threat so need not be euthanized? I'm confused.

Euthanized? They were probably shot. You don't hunt those little shirts with a tranq gun; That's how you get bit.
