Can animals carry COVID, and can they infect people?
4935 Thursday, 02 July, 2020, 18:15 The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through human-to-human transmission, but there is evidence of transmission at the human-animal interface. We are aware of reports from mink farms in Denmark and the Netherlands, where minks have been infected by farm workers. In a few instances, the minks that were infected by humans have transmitted the virus to other people. These are the first reported cases of animal-to-human transmission; It is still recommended that people who are sick with COVID-19 and people who are at risk limit contact with companions and other animals; Photo Credits: Lilit Dadikyan |
