AFP reported that a cat raised in Belgium for a pet was infected with a corona19 from its owner and was confirmed.

"It is a rare case in which humans and animals infected with Corona19 have spread in close contact," said Dr. Emmanuel Andre, a government epidemic defense spokesman.

However, "the virus can go from human to animal, but there is no reason to think that the animal is a medium."

Health authorities have ruled out the possibility, as there have been fewer cases of corona19 transmission from humans to animals.

In a similar case, in Hong Kong, 17 dogs and 8 cats raised by people infected with Corona19 were tested and found to be positive in 2 dogs.

Dogs who were tested for viruses in Hong Kong were asymptomatic, but Belgian cats were found to develop temporary respiratory symptoms and problems with the digestive system.

"There is no evidence that the virus has passed from livestock to humans or other pets," said the Belgian health authorities. I did.
