Dr. Massimo Orioles, DVM, Cert AVP, MRCVS · Accepted Answer

According to the OIE, the current spread of COVID-19 is a result of human-to-human transmission, and, to date, there is no evidence that companion animals can spread the disease. Therefore, there is no justification in taking measures against companion animals which may compromise their welfare. They can become passive vectors of the disease for short period of time, but cannot get the infection.
