Measures to prevent cross‐species transfer
Humans should be careful and maintain high hygienic standards for themselves and to protect the animals and prevent further interspecies transmission
Infected owners should wear mouth‐nose‐protection, also during food preparation for the animal; no eating or drinking should take place in close proximity to each other, including no sharing of foods or drinks, or bed. Infected owners should regularly wash and disinfect hands. Quarantine/isolation should also be applied to pets in the COVID−19‐affected human families; pets should not interact with other people/animals from other households Other people should take care of the animal if holder is SARS‐CoV−2‐positive; if this is not feasible, keep distance from the animal as far as possible and wear mouth‐nose‐protection. If animals are tested positive, they should be kept away from other animals and humans, and public places or dog parks, where it can be crowded, should be avoided. Humans and their animals should not consume exotic animals, their meats, or products made thereof, especially if sold and kept in a clustered way under unsanitary conditions ("wet markets").
