An FAQ for pet parents during the pandemic:
Although health experts have repeatedly assured the public that people and pets can’t pass the novel coronavirus to one another, the news that a Bronx Zoo tiger tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this week has given many dog and cat owners pause.

Kerkhove acknowledged, “we think that [animals] may be able to be infected from an infected person.
