That being said, if someone infected with the COVID-19 virus were to, for example, cough on a bench that a dog then brushed up against, picking up virus on its fur, and you then pet the dog, getting virus on your hands, and then touched your face and breathed in the virus, there's a chance you could become infected. Scientists are actively investigating how companion animals play into the pandemic. A recent study has revealed that domestic cats can be infected with the virus and can spread infection to other domestic cats. In addition, the virus doesn’t seem to affect animals as severely as humans, and the chances of them spreading it are very low. The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is not believed to be a health. Yes, some animals can catch Covid-19 through close contact with infected humans, but fortunately, this is extremely rare. Furthermore, cats have been shown to spread the coronavirus to other cats in the laboratory. We have known for decades that dogs can contract coronaviruses, most commonly the canine respiratory coronavirus (not COVID-19). However, some do believe that pets may be "silent spreaders" of COVID-19 since COVID-19 symptoms in pets are likely mild to nonexistent. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there’s no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading SARS-CoV-2 to people. People are more likely to catch COVID-19 from other people and transmit the coronavirus to their pets than the other way around evidence to date suggests cats and dogs are highly unlikely to pass SARS-CoV-2 to humans. of Agriculture confirmed that at least 2,000 mink have died from the coronavirus at a Wisconsin mink farm.
We're likely a bigger risk to our pets than they are to us. We also know that according to recent outbreaks on mink farms, mink can transmit the virus to other mink, and in rare circumstances, infected mink can transmit the virus to humans. Good hygiene should be practiced, and people should wear masks in public.
To be safe, you and pets in your household should remain physically distant from those outside your household, and avoid crowded indoor spaces.
