“Recently, the veterinary medicine faculty in Liège reported that a coronavirus infection has been diagnosed in a cat. The cat lived with her owner, who started showing symptoms of the virus a week before the cat did,” said Van Gucht.

“We want to stress that this is an isolated case. Additionally, in this case, we are talking about a human-to-animal transmission, not the other way around. The risk of animal-to-human transmission, is very small,” he added.

"The animal lived in close contact with its owner, and started showing symptoms a week after the woman did. “The cat had diarrhoea, kept vomiting and had breathing difficulties. The researchers found the virus in the cat’s faeces,” he added."
