Can pets carry the new coronavirus?



There have been cases of people infected with the New Crown Virus passing it on to their pets, so it is possible for pets to carry the New Crown Virus. However, pets have not yet been found to transmit the virus to humans, so there is no need to worry too much.

Neocoronaviruses can be parasitized in animal cells. From the reported cases globally, it has been found that NeoCornea virus may be detected in pets such as cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, etc. after contact with people carrying NeoCornea virus, but most pets with NeoCornea virus infection have relatively mild symptoms or no symptoms at all.

Although there is no evidence that animals can transmit the virus to humans, human-to-pet transmission may be a potential risk. Therefore, if your pet shows some symptoms such as fever, runny nose, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., you should also undergo nucleic acid testing if necessary for early diagnosis and treatment.
