, now sneezing cats. A team in Thailand reports the first solid evidence of a pet cat infecting a person with SARS-CoV-2 — adding felines to the list of animals that can transmit the virus to people.
Studies early in the pandemic found that cats shed infectious virus particles and can infect other cats. And over the course of the pandemic, countries have reported SARS-CoV-2 infections in dozens of pet cats. But establishing the direction of viral spread — from cat to person or from person to cat — is tricky.
Still, Chusri says it is worth taking extra precautions when handling cats suspected of being infected. People “should not abandon their cats, but take more care of them”, he says.
So you are honestly telling me they proved he got it from the cat and not the cats owners ? On the surface seems like a very bad example of contact tracing but it’s an opinion piece and we cannot see the actual data.
Just don't.... there will now be millions of dead and homeless cats because of idiotic articles on the internet😡
o.o
The cat is innocent
