Experts confirm human to animal spread of coronavirus

Experts have confirmed the first known case of human-to-animal transmission of the coronavirus after a Pomeranian dog in Hong Kong was found to have been infected with low levels of the disease.

Last week the dog, whose 60-year-old human companion is in hospital with the illness, was placed under quarantine after nasal and oral samples tested “weak positive” for Covid-19. This finding sparked much scepticism from scientists around the world who said it was unlikely the disease could jump species so quickly.

Hong Kong authorities said all pets whose owners test positive for the coronavirus should be put under quarantine.

The dog was first tested on February 26 and now three further tests have confirmed that the Pomeranian has low levels of infection.
