WHO assurance on pet safety welcomed

THERE was always very little evidence that domestic animals can contract coronavirus and we hope the recent news from the World Health Organization will ensure that people do not continue to panic about their pets.

Pets are important for companionship and they shouldn’t pay the price of our worries by being abandoned or cruelly mistreated in fear of them spreading the disease.
