While dogs can test positive for coronavirus, it doesn't necessarily mean they have been infected
Experts agree, almost definitely not. Why then did one dog in Hong Kong test positive for coronavirus last week?Here's what happened.Last Friday, Hong Kong's Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department said that samples from the dog's nasal and oral cavities had tested"weak positive" for novel coronavirus. It was believed to be the first time that a dog anywhere in the world tested positive for the virus.
Some pet owners in mainland China have been fitting their dogs with tiny face masks, but Gray said there is no benefit to that -- in fact, it's probably fairly distressing for the pet and could cause them to panic.Instead, pet owners should stick to the basics: good hygiene. Both WHO and Gray said owners should wash their hands with soap and water after touching pets.
