Can I get COVID-19 from my pets or other animals?
section_content: At this time, there is no evidence that animals play a significant role in
spreading the virus that causes COVID-19. Based on the limited information
available to date, the risk of animals spreading COVID-19 to people is
considered to be low. A small number of pets have been reported to be infected
with the virus that causes COVID-19, mostly after contact with people with
COVID-19.
Pets have other types of coronaviruses that can make them sick, like canine
and feline coronaviruses. These other coronaviruses cannot infect people and
are not related to the current COVID-19 outbreak.
However, since animals can spread other diseases to people, it’s always a good
idea to practice healthy
habits
around pets and other animals, such as washing your hands and maintaining good
hygiene. For more information on the many benefits of pet ownership, as well
as staying safe and healthy around animals including pets, livestock, and
wildlife, visit CDC’s Healthy Pets, Healthy People
website.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Mostly focuses on the spread of disease among animals to people but also touches on safety tips for how to handle pets which is what the question was asking about
This answer is irrelevant to the question. The question is asking about whether or not people who are sick with Covid-19 are allowed to be near their pets and this answer is explaining about the spread of Covid-19 from animals to human.

section_headers: Risk of people spreading the virus that causes COVID-19 to pets
section_content: We are still learning about the virus that causes COVID-19, but it appears
that it can spread from people to animals in some situations.
CDC is aware of a small number of pets, including dogs and cats,
reported to be
infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, mostly after close contact with
people with COVID-19. Only a few of the pets reported to be positive showed
signs of illness.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer provides information and explanation that people can spread Covid-19 to their pets, however the answer does not explain any further whether or not a person should limit contact or allowed to be near their pets when they are sick with Covid-19.
This does answer the question so it seems pretty good. Feels light on information but there's a link to other reports of animals with COVID. Does a decent job answering

Should I avoid contact with pets or other animals if I am sick with COVID-19?
section_content: We are still learning about this virus, but it appears that it can spread from
people to animals in some situations. Until we learn more about this new
coronavirus, you should restrict contact with pets and other animals while you
are sick with COVID-19, just like you would with people. When possible, have
another member of your household care for your animals while you are sick. If
you are sick with COVID-19, avoid contact with your pet, including

Petting
Snuggling
Being kissed or licked
Sharing food or bedding

If you must care for your pet or be around animals while you are sick, wash
your hands before and after you interact with pets and wear a cloth face
covering.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This information answers the question directly. The answer provides explanation that people can spread Covid-19 to animals and what types of contact people should avoid with their pets when sick with Covid-19. The answer also provides recommendation of what precautions to take if a person is sick with Covid-19 and necessarily have to take care of the pets.
This seems like a great answer. Speaks to the unknown transmission between people and animals and lists acts that you shouldn't partake in with your pet
