Viruses, Vol. 13, Pages 673: Household Cases Suggest That Cats Belonging to Owners with COVID-19 Have a Limited Role in Virus Transmission
In this study, we monitored five cats for viral shedding daily. Each cat was confined with its COVID-19 positive owners in separate households. Low loads of viral nucleic acid were found in two cats, but only one developed anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, which suggests that cats have a limited role in COVID-19 epidemiology.
