HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PETS FROM CORONA VIRUS

Several dogs and cats (domestic cats and tigers) in-tuned with infected humans have tested positive for COVID-19. Additionally, ferrets appear to be vulnerable to the infection. In experimental conditions, both cats and ferrets were ready to transmit infection to other animals of the identical species. However, there's no evidence that these animals can transmit the disease to humans and spread COVID-19. COVID-19 is especially spread through droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks.

It is still recommended that peoples who are sick with COVID-19 please be in limit contact with companion and other animals. When handling and caring for animals, basic hygiene measures should be implemented. This includes hand washing after handling animals, their food or supplies, similarly as avoiding kissing, licking or sharing food. 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that companion animals including dogs and other pets, cannot contract or spread COVID-19. Also, the World Health Organization (WHO) says there’s no evidence the virus has infected any dogs or cats. However, because animals and peoples can sometimes share diseases (called zoonotic diseases), the CDC recommends those who are sick or under medical attention for COVID-19 to limit contact with companion and other animals until more is understood about the virus. Instead, have an addict or loved one make sure of your pet until your health provider says you have cleared the virus. If you're ill with COVID-19 and must be sure of your own pet, practice good hygiene and wear a mask, if possible.

What we've to try and do:

• A small number of pets worldwide, including cats and dogs, are reported to be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, mostly after close contact with people with COVID-19.

• Based on the limited information available up to now, the danger of animals spreading COVID-19 to people is taken into account to be low. 

. • It appears that the virus that causes COVID-19 can spread from people to animals in some situations.

. • Treat pets as you'd other human relations – don't let pets interact with people outside the household.

• If an individual inside the household becomes sick, isolate that person from everyone else, including pets.
