New Delhi, May 25: The origin of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID-19 infection, remains a mystery. Many scientists and experts believe coronavirus most likely came from an animal, likely a bat. However, there is no data-based scientific evidence that suggest animals, including domestic animals like cat and dogs, can largely transmit coronavirus to humans. But, messages claiming pet animals can spread coronavirus to people are going viral on social media.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천COVID-19 Vaccine for Animals: Russia Registers 'World's First' Coronavirus Vaccine Carnivac-Cov for Dogs, Cats and Minks.
