Can pets become coronavirus carriers?

Although we talk about infected pets, there is still no evidence that our beloved pets can spread the new coronavirus among humans or other animals.

“There is no evidence that dogs play a role in the spread of this human disease or that they become sick,” said the World Organisation for Animal Health. “Even if the cats and dogs cough droplets, they would not go too far,” Dr. Ho said. “If anything, this highlights that we humans still need to be more careful to avoid infecting other loved ones in our household, furry or not,” Dr. Mackay said.
