ISLAMABAD-Three cats contaminated with the virus that causes COVID-19 unfold the virus to a few different cats in a lab examine printed in The New England Journal of Medication by a analysis staff working in Tokyo, Japan, and Wisconsin, USA.

The contaminated cats have been housed in pairs with uninfected cats, sharing the identical area, meals, water, and air. Inside 5 days, the uninfected cats examined optimistic for SARS-CoV-2 in nasal swabs. After their first optimistic check, all cats continued to check optimistic for about 5 days, that means the cats have been possible infectious — in a position to unfold the virus to others — for about 5 days.
Blood checks confirmed that the cats produced antibodies, molecules that the immune system makes use of to get rid of present infections, and forestall future re-infection, for 24 days after first changing into contaminated, the longest time included within the examine.
