"BVA president Daniella Dos
Santos said: ‘The OIE and Hong
Kong government have unanimously
agreed that the ongoing test results
of the Pomeranian dog suggest that
the dog has a low-level of infection
and that this is likely to be a case
of human-to-animal transmission.
The dog has not shown any clinical
signs of disease and is still under
quarantine."
‘We are very wary of speculating
beyond the information that is
However, we’re aware that during
the SARS outbreak in 2003, a small
number of cats and dogs tested
positive for the virus. These animals
did not transmit the virus to other
animals of the same species or to
humans.
‘We are particularly keen not to
cause any unnecessary concern that
could lead to pet abandonment.
We would emphasise that at the
moment, there remains no evidence
that pet animals can be a source of
infection of Covid-19 for humans
or other animals, or that they
become sick. The main source of
infection remains human-to-human
transmission.’"
