The coronavirus pandemic might wreak havoc in a frightening brand-new method, since your home family pets could be at threat of coming down with COVID-19
A professional at the National Institute of Health tells TMZ … while people may be fretted about catching the coronavirus from their pets, it’s in fact the other way around, and the potential for human beings to contaminate animals is being way overlooked.
It’s quite alarming … we’re informed felines and ferrets are most likely to be infected with COVID-19 from human beings. For pet dog owners, we’re told preliminary studies reveal canines are less most likely to contract the virus. As we reported, 2 dogs in Hong Kong did test positive
While information is limited on the impacts of COVID-19 on animals … we’re informed researchers are reasoning from past infections. Data from the 2009 H1N1 (swine influenza) pandemic shows people infected a large range of animals consisting of dogs, cats, tigers and cheetahs.
In all cases of swine flu in animals, scientists state it appeared the critters were contaminated by direct transmission of the infection from human beings
