Last year there were reports that animals were infected with COVID-19. COVID-19 has not only appeared in humans but also in animals. So can animals infect humans with the virus again?

This question has arisen again this year. Another feline has been infected with the new coronavirus. What is waiting for it? Will animals be treated like people?

According to January News reported on the 26th that in a zoo in a city in western Sweden, a 17-year-old female tiger was unfortunately infected with the new coronavirus. This was also the first case of a cat in Sweden being infected with the new coronavirus.

After the infection was discovered, the tiger quickly lost its appetite and its condition gradually worsened. They thought it would be treated by a doctor, but the only thing waiting for them was death! In the end, the staff had no choice but to euthanize the tiger. It had no hope of survival.

Subsequently, several lions were diagnosed with the virus. Fortunately, the symptoms were relatively mild and they were isolated in time. According to doctors, these animals are most likely infected by zoo staff, and many animals have symptoms of the virus.

Although there have been cases of animals being infected with the new coronavirus before, it was in good condition and the symptoms were not obvious. Researchers say: Humans are transmitted to animals, but animals are not currently transmitting to humans! Although there are cases showing that humans can transmit the new coronavirus to domestic cats and other felines, it does not mean that they can also transmit the virus to humans.

Veterinarian Xiao Ming believes that the new coronavirus has never left us, and we should remain vigilant and take appropriate protective measures. Wear a mask when going out, disinfect frequently, and wash hands frequently. If you have pets at home, you should also take precautions to protect them.

If you have been infected with COVID-19, you should avoid contact with pets and do not rely on yourself toIf you harm your pets because of your love for them, their lives are worthy of respect.
