At this time, there is no evidence that companion animals including pets can spread COVID-19. As with any animal introduced to a new environment, animals recently imported from China should be observed daily for signs of illness.

During this period of outbreak its advisable not to import any animals (or) use animal related products to avoid the spread of infections.
