完整標題： Your pet can't catch coronavirus. Here's why one dog tested positive 發稿單位： CNN 發稿時間： 2020-03-03 美東 撰 稿 者： Julia Hollingsworth, CNN 原文連結： https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/02/asia/pets-coronavirus-spread-intl-hnk/index.html Despite this, the AFCD and the World Health Organization both agree there is no evidence that pets such as cats or dogs can be infected with coronavirus. That's because while dogs can test positive for the virus, it doesn't necessarily mean they have been infected. We know that coronaviruses can live on surfaces and objects, although researchers don't know exactly how long this virus can linger for. In the same way, coronavirus could be present on the surface of a dog or cat, even if the dog or cat hasn't actually contracted the virus. The AFCD is testing to see whether the dog has been infected with the virus or if it has just been contaminated with the virus. "Present evidence suggests that dogs are no more of a risk of spreading (coronavirus) than inanimate objects such as door handles," McClelland said there had been no confirmed cases of cats or dogs contracting the disease anywhere in the world, and that there are no published studies showing that the coronavirus test is accurate in dogs. ----- 簡單翻譯 雖然前幾天在香港有狗被驗出帶有陽性反應，但這不代表牠被感染病毒 目前知道這隻病毒能“活”在非生物物體表面一段時間 所以推測香港那隻狗其實只是被病毒「污染」，因為狗狗本身沒有被感染，這狀況其實像非生物體（如桌子）被病毒污染一樣 然後目前證據顯示，寵物散播病毒的可能性不會大於非生物（如門把） 目前在世界上沒有任何寵物被武漢肺炎感染的案例 文中其他和sars相關 及 寵物對隔離病人的好處blabla 就不翻了 ----- Sent from JPTT on my Asus ASUS_I01WD. --
