[전국]Seoul City, corona 19 test for dogs of confirmed patients… “There is no spread to humans” in Seoul

[앵커]

In a family in Seoul where a family member had a confirmed case, a dog was also tested for suspicious symptoms.

There have been cases where pets have been infected from humans, but the opposite or infection between animals has not been confirmed, so it is likely to be quarantined at home even if a positive test is found.

This is reporter Lee Sang-soon on the report.

A house in Gangbuk-gu, Seoul where the confirmed case occurred.

Animal migration specimen collection team was dispatched.

Wearing thick quarantine clothing.

This is because the family’s dog also showed suspicious symptoms.

I have a runny nose and a fever.

Your dog was tested in the vehicle.

This is the first companion animal test in Seoul.

[배진선 / 서울시청 수의공중보건팀장 : 코로나19가 반려동물에서 사람으로 전파된다는 증거가 없기 때문에 반려동물에서 코로나19 양성 판정이 나더라도 별도 격리조치 하지 않고…]

Therefore, even if the animal is benign, the pet will be quarantined at home for 14 days, and self-quarantine will be released after that.

This is the management guidelines of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.

From the public’s point of view, it can be controversial.

However, there are minimal management rules.

A family member should protect it in a separate space and wear a mask and plastic gloves when touching.

The excrement is sealed and discarded.

If you need veterinary care, you should consult with a veterinarian over the phone in advance and decide whether to visit.
