Pet cat tests positive for coronavirus in first confirmed animal case in UK Experts say it does not mean the disease is being spread to people by their pets
UK chief veterinary officer Christine Middlemiss said:"This is a very rare event, with infected animals detected to date only showing mild clinical signs and recovering within in a few days.
Yvonne Doyle, Public Health England's director for health protection, advised people to wash their hands regularly, including before and after contact with animals. A private vet initially diagnosed feline herpes virus - a common cat respiratory infection - but the sample was also tested for Sars-Cov-2 as part of a research programme.
