The World Health Organisation (WHO) have stated that “Currently, there is no evidence that pets such as dogs and cats have infected humans with COVID-19”.
The WHO and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) recommend that you should avoid close contact with your pets if you are receiving medical attention for COVID-19 or have an impaired immune system for any reason. This means you need to adopt good hygiene methods such as washing your hands before and after touching pets, their toys, food or bedding, avoiding licking and avoiding sharing food. If possible, another member of your household should take on the primary care giving responsibilities for your dog whilst you are unwell.
