Have announced the 1st known "pet cats" to have the virus "that causes covid-19".

Both are "in new york state"..

And do "not" live together.

"the cats" had very mild respiratory symptoms and are expected to make full recoveries.

"these infections" have been reported in very few animals worldwide.

In fact, they're mostly in those "that had close contact" with a person living with covid-19.

"veterinarians" are advising pet owners to social distance your animals.

Limit your interactions with your pets.

Especially "if" you're displaying symptoms. ask a healthy family member..

To care for your pets..

Until you've fully recovered.

And "if" you are sick..

And need to take care of your pets..

Wash your hands and wear a face mask.
