According to the WHO, there is no evidence that domesticated dogs and cats are infected with the new coronavirus. Although dogs and cats also carry coronaviruses, they are of a different branch from the one that triggered the outbreak. The new coronavirus carried by cats and dogs is more common and has been stable for a long time, and there has not been any case of mutual transmission between humans and animals. So, outdoor pets can play together with each other. However, to be on the safe side, don’t keep pets loose, don’t let pets come into contact with other possible carriers of the virus, don’t let pets play with or come into contact with stray animals, and wash your hands regularly after contact with pets. Don’t let pets get close to people who are sick. If the sick person and the pet have already had contact, isolate the pet as you would a person, keep it in a separate isolated area, and have the person in charge of feeding and cleaning it take proper precautions, such as wearing a mask, gloves, and washing their hands regularly.
