Keep your cats indoors whenever possible as researchers say they can get COVID-19 too. Meanwhile, there's no evidence that cats could transmit the virus to humans. InternationalCatDay READ:

The findings add to a growing body of research showing how cats, big and small, can contract the virus. But experts say there is no evidence felines are contributing to the spread of Covid-19.

The first two cats in the United States to test positive -- both New Yorkers -- showed mild respiratory symptoms, although both were expected to make a full recovery. Eight lions and tigers at the Bronx Zoo also tested positive. The American Veterinary Medical Association noted that the new research was conducted in a lab -- and it's unclear whether cats can be as easily infected in the real world. A small number of animals worldwide are confirmed to have the virus, the group said in a statement."There is no evidence to date that these relatively few naturally infected animals have played any role in transmitting COVID-19 to humans," it said.

Apparently paw-paw fruit and car oil has tested positive for covid-19 virus, so anything is possible. I am suspecting my mobile phone has covid-19 virus infection, it gets hot when I use it long hours.

Please fact check this, CNN. WHO never released a statement regarding this information. This is misleading and may cause harm to cats.
