In the US that is suffering from the havoc of the Corona virus, there have been cases of infecting humans as well as pets. In New York, two domesticated cats have been found infected with the corona virus. This is the first case of infecting domesticated animals in the US.

 

The US Department of Agriculture and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that cats have mild breathing problems and are expected to recover from the disease. People in the house they are in or from the neighborhood are feared to be infected.

 

There has been a slight increase in the number of confirmed cases of animal viruses worldwide after some tigers and lions at the Bronx Zoo were found to be infected with the corona virus. According to US officials, it appears that some animals may have been infected by humans, but there is no indication that animals are infecting humans.

 

CDC officer Casey Borton Behrawesh said that we want people not to panic. People do not get scared of pets or rush to check them. He said that no evidence has been found that pets are spreading disease among people.
