Can a novel coronavirus infection in cats infect humans?

Experts from the National Health Commission have said about pets, and so far no cases of pets infected with the new coronavirus retransmitted to people have been found. Dogs and cats themselves carry coronaviruses, but the virus is a constant and is not transmitted to people. The new coronavirus that humans are infected with and the coronavirus that dogs and cats carry are different branches, and the coronavirus that pets carry and people are infected with are not the same. So far there is no tendency to transmit to humans. After the new coronavirus occurred, many pet owners have psychological fluctuations, but experts recommend that pets should be managed well, do not discard them at will, treat them seriously and as always, do a good job of pet vaccination, try to reduce the number of outings during the epidemic, walk the dog on a leash, preferably with a muzzle, do not let pets and strange animals or unclean foreign objects come into contact when you go out to avoid contamination with the virus. After returning home, do a good job of cleaning, preferably with alcohol or 84 disinfectant wipe, cat pots, dog pots, litter boxes, etc. should be cleaned regularly to do a good job of cleaning and protection. Now is the new coronavirus epidemic season, people do a good job of protection at the same time, the pet should also be given the right treatment, do not worry excessively. Content source: Dr. You Lai
