Description

It might be time to start teaching that old dog new physical distancing tricks. With the news of two pet cats catching the coronavirus from their owners in NYC last week, public health authorities have revised their advice on what people who are sick with COVID-19 should do with their pets. As this virus is believed to have come from bats, there are plenty of questions about what might happen if it moves back to other animals. Raju Mudhar speaks with Scott Weese, chief of infection control at the University of Guelph’s Ontario Veterinary College, for a look at the animal kingdom in the time of a pandemic.
