Corona 19 confirmed dogs in Hong Kong have also been infected with Corona 19.

The Hong Kong Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Fisheries (AFCD) says it has determined that a Pomeranian companion dog that has tested positive in the Corona 19 diagnostic test is infected with the virus.

According to the AFP news agency, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Fisheries quarantined the dogs in the shelter last month.

Based on the test results, Hong Kong's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Fisheries estimates that the dog appears to be infected with the virus at a 'soft' level.

University experts and the World Animal Health Organization (OIE), who reviewed the case, agree that the transmission between humans and animals is likely to occur, the ministry said.

However, the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries said the infected dogs did not show any symptoms of corona.

Since 28th last month, Hong Kong has implemented a 14-day quarantine of pets from all Corona19 confirmed patients.

Pomeranians, who were cared for by other sponsors, were also quarantined, but the second dog was negative on the first test.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said earlier that there is no evidence that pets, such as dogs and cats, can be infected with Corona19.
