The pet dog of a coronavirus patient in Hong Kong was confirmed to be infected with the disease, in a likely case of human-to-animal transmission, authorities said on Wednesday.

All pets of people in Hong Kong infected with the coronavirus will be quarantined for 14 days, starting Friday

The city’s Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department said repeated tests suggest the dog — a pomeranian — has “a low-level of infection”. The other dog in quarantine belongs to a second coronavirus patient that tested negative for the virus once and will be tested again before its release.
