There is another rumor on the Internet that pets spread Corona virus. There are videos in circulation that show people abandoning their pets due to the risk of COVID19. Well, it is not true. As per WHO’s latest guidelines there is no clear evidence that a pet can get infected or transmit the virus to humans.
Do I need to protect my pets from Corona Virus?
Your pet is not as risk. Current evidence indicates that the novel virus cannot infect pets like dogs. There was one case in Hong Kong but evidence suggested the dog had the virus from its owner and there was no indications of illness in the dog.
This means, like any other surface such your table or a door knob, the dog was just carrying the virus and was not at risk of infection due to an infected person in close vicinity.
Should I change my behavior with pets?
Pets often carry viruses and bacteria like e.coli and Salmonella that can pass between humans and pets. You need to follow general guidelines like washing your hands before and after touching the pets, covering your mouth etc. This will protect both you and your pet.
