The CDC is still learning about the virus that causes COVID-19, but it appears that it can spread from people to animals in some situations.
The CDC believes until they can learn more about how this virus affects animals, they recommended treating your pets as you would other human family members to protect them from a possible infection.
If you are sick with COVID-19 restrict contact with your pets, and other pets, just like you would with other humans.
Based on the limited current information, the risk of animals spreading COVID-19 to people is low.
