	https://phys.org/news/2021-11-transmission-covid-pet-owner-pets.html Snips… In the Arizona case study, the pet owner, cat and dog all were infected with the identical strain of coronavirus: B.1.575, an early and unremarkable version of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID. Fewer than 25 documented cases exist of Arizonans infected with this strain, according to information drawn from the COVID variant tracking dashboard that TGen maintains for the CDC and ADHS In the case study, the pet parent was not yet vaccinated, took little precaution to protect his cat and dog, and entertained guests who were not vaccinated. The owner recovered from COVID, and both his pets were asymptomatic. Including this case study, Arizona researchers tested 61 pets—39 dogs and 22 cats—living in 24 households. There were 14 positive cases of COVID in pets among six of the households.
