 Q. Can my pet (dogs, cats, etc.) contract COVID-19 from other pets or animals?

   - There is no evidence proving pets can contract COVID-19 or transmit/spread COVID-19 to humans yet.

   - There have been reports of pets contracting COVID-19. However, in most cases, the animals were infected after coming into contact with a person already infected with COVID-19.

   - In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 or other diseases, you must follow the precautionary protocols of washing your hands thoroughly with water and soap before and after touching your pet or your pet’s belongings.   ※ (Source) WHO, Q&A on coronaviruses

 Q. Should I avoid contact with pets or other animals if I contract COVID-19?

   - Several cases have been reported around the world where pets were believed to have been infected by humans.

   - If you have symptoms of COVID-19, avoid contact with pets, wash your hands thoroughly when you are with pets, and wear a face mask.

   - If you suspect that you may have COVID-19 or if you have contracted COVID-19, it is safer to have someone else take care of your pet if possible until you are fully cured.

 Q. Can I walk my dog?

   - Walking your dog is important for the health and overall happiness of your dog and yourself. Make sure to keep a distance of at least 2m from other people or other animals and walk with a leash on your dog.

   - Do not go to parks or public areas where there may be a large number of people and dogs. To keep up with social distancing guidelines, you need to prevent other people from touching your dog while walking.   ※ (Source) CDC, FAQ COVID-19 and Animal
