Question: How can I keep myself healthy and safe around animals?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: If You Have Pets
section_headers: Stay healthy around animals
section_content: In the United States, there is no evidence that animals are playing a
significant role in the spread of COVID-19. Based on the limited information
available to date, the risk of animals spreading COVID-19 to people is
considered to be low. However, because all animals can carry germs that can
make people sick, it’s always a good idea to practice healthy
habits around pets and
other animals.

Wash your hands after handling animals, their food, waste, or supplies.
Practice good pet hygiene and clean up after pets properly.
Talk to your veterinarian if you have questions about your pet’s health.
Be aware that children 5 years of age and younger, people with weakened immune systems, and people 65 years of age and older are more likely to get sick from germs some animals can carry.

section_headers: What to do if you own pets
section_content: Until we learn more about how this virus affects animals, treat pets as you
would other human family members to protect them from a possible infection.

Do not let pets interact with people or other animals outside the household.
Keep cats indoors when possible to prevent them from interacting with other animals or people.
Walk dogs on a leash, maintaining at least 6 feet (2 meters) from other people and animals.
Avoid dog parks or public places where a large number of people and dogs gather.

There is a small number of animals around the world reported to be infected
with the virus that causes COVID-19, mostly after having contact with a person
with COVID-19. Talk to your veterinarian if your pet gets sick or if you have
any concerns about your pet’s health.

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.
