Hong Kong authorities have warned pet owners to avoid kissing their pets after a dog belonging to a Covid-19 patient was confirmed to have the virus.
The Hong Kong Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department said the pet dog had “a low level of infection with the virus”, adding that it was likely a case of human-to-animal transmission.
