The epidemic has been severe recently, and many cat owners will have a question: Will cats be infected with the novel coronavirus pneumonia? Since everyone is so interested, let’s take a look at the relevant information about cats and the new crown today!
Cats usually do not contagious with novel coronavirus pneumonia, and the sources of infection of novel coronavirus pneumonia are mainly patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia and asymptomatic infections. The novel coronavirus has also been isolated from wild animals, but as domestic pets, cats have less contact with the outside world, so the possibility of carrying the novel coronavirus is less. The main transmission routes of novel coronavirus pneumonia include direct contact transmission, aerosol route transmission, and indirect contact transmission. The main way of direct contact transmission is that patients expel the virus from their bodies by speaking, sneezing and coughing, while close contacts will inhale viruses in the air to cause infection. In addition, the exhaled viruses in patients can be deposited on the surface of objects. If healthy people indirectly contact objects with virus deposits and then touch their own eye conjunctiva or mouth, they can also cause infection and disease of the novel coronavirus.
