Human-to-cat Covid-19 transmission identified by scientists in Scotland

"Currently, animal-to-human transmission represents a relatively low risk to public health in areas where human-to-human transmission remains high."

Two cases of human-to-cat transmission of Covid-19 have been identified by researchers in Scotland.

Scientists from the University of Glasgow found the cases of SARS-CoV-2 transmission as part of a screening programme of the feline population in the UK.
