Your Pet and COVID-19

/in /by

 

So did this coronavirus spread from animals to humans? Well maybe, coronaviruses can be transmitted from animals to humans but it’s the bats that are the reservoir hosts for viruses which can cross species barriers to infect humans and other pets. Currently there is no indication to suggest that our pets can become ill with this virus or will become a source of infection. A quarantined dog in Hong Kong last month tested “weak positive” for the virus but did not show signs of illness, its believed it is a case of human to animal transmission. This viruses can sometimes infect a species but not cause illness and it is currently believed that pets such as cats or dogs can’t pass COVID-19 to humans. Masks made for pets may not be effective in preventing diseases transmitted by bodily fluid droplets.
