While Covid-19 is slowly losing its effect all over the world, research on the virus is still ongoing. Moreover, these studies can sometimes come up with interesting results. A case encountered for the first time in Thailand once again made us question what we know about the virus.
Especially during the time we spent from the beginning of the virus, it has not been seen that animals such as cats, dogs, mice have transmitted Covid-19 to a person . However, it was reported by experts that they should be prepared just in case and that they could be carriers.
Transmitted from cat to human for the first time
A veterinarian in Thailand contracted the Covid-19 virus from a cat who sneezed in his face during an examination. Although there is no definite information, it is thought that the owners of the cat also had Covid-19 at that time. However, this is not the only surprising part of this information that has emerged as a result of research, because the veterinarian says that he wears a mask during the examination. However, experts underline that masks should not be contented with during such examinations and that face shields such as visors should be used.
The Covid-19 virus, which was transmitted to the veterinarian from a cat, is thought to be the first case ever passed from a cat to a human. Experts, on the other hand, underline once again that our little friends can be carriers just like us . We can say that this case in Thailand is proof that these warnings of experts were not in vain. Although we seem to be getting through, Covid-19 cases still continue to be seen. In this and similar viruses, we can take precautions so that viruses do not spread further around us by staying away from our friends as much as possible.
