The list of animals infected with the Corona virus reaches 29 species

Experts have discovered that the list of animals infected with the Corona virus has now reached 29 species since the beginning of the epidemic.

A report in the Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper said that the list has grown steadily, and among the species included in the list are cats, dogs, rodents, tigers, mice, otters and hippos.

Although it has not been proven that these animals transmit the virus to humans in most cases, in at least two cases, it appeared that this was possible.

Minks spread the virus between humans, and in a new Canadian study, experts identified a person who tested positive for the virus after "close contact" with a white-tailed deer.

The newspaper pointed out that the good news is that with all the known mutants that have circulated in humans, vaccines have remained very good at preventing severe illness caused by the virus.
