What should I do if I am infected with COVID-19?

If you are sick or can’t get out, you’d better ask another member of your family to go out with your pet and do not kiss, cuddle, or play with it if you are infected with the novel coronavirus. Be responsible even with your animals.

“If you are sick with COVID-19, either suspected or confirmed, you should restrict contact with pets and other animals, just like you would around other people. Although there have not been reports of pets or other animals becoming sick with COVID-19, it is still recommended that people sick with COVID-19 limit contact with animals until more information is known about the virus. This can help ensure both you and your animals stay healthy,” said CDC.
