Is it possible for the SARS-CoV-2 to spread among animals?
We all recall the cases of Coronavirus among mink and the massive slaughtering in mink farms to slow the spread of the disease.
But, does Covid spread among other mammalians?
There is new reports emerging of spread occurring among white-tail deer in North America.
There have been documented cases of animals such as lions, tigers, ferrets, monkeys, and domesticated cats and dogs testing positive for the Coronavirus.
What actions should be taken in light of this?
1.) If you are around animals, exercise caution (especially pertaining to the above mentioned animals) – they may be infected.
2.) If you care for animals and you yourself have Covid, avoid being in contact with animals and/or practice preventive measures to avoid potentially spreading your illness.
