In March 2020, there was news about the first dog that test “weak positive” for coronavirus (COVID-19 virus) in Hong Kong. The implications of a “weak positive” test are unclear, and it’s unknown if the presence of the virus is due to infection, environmental contamination, cross-reactivity or even potential issues with the test itself. Hong Kong officials said the dog showed no clinical signs of illness, has been quarantined and is being cared for, and will continue to be monitored to determine its status. Experts have not expressed concern about transmission to or from animals. Multiple international and domestic health organization have indicated that pets and other domestic animals are not considered at risk for contracting or spreading COVID-19.
