Recently, Qin Chuan, director and researcher of the Institute of Medical Laboratory Animals of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency that cats are not easily infected by the new crown virus in a normal environment, and cats are not a source of infection or a carrier.
Only if the new crown patient has excessive intimacy with the cat, it may cause its infection, such as licking and other actions.
Therefore, I urge everyone not to slaughter animals casually.
