Is there a possibility of animals to spread the disease? How about other birds and house pets?

At present, there is no evidence to say that birds and house pets may transmit the infections. To date, CDC has not received any reports of pets or other animals becoming sick with COVID-19. At this time, there is no evidence that companion animals including pets can spread COVID-19. However, since animals can spread other diseases to people, it’s always a good idea to wash your hands after being around animals.
