Yes:: The CDC recommends isolating yourself from people and pets as much as possible if you have COVID-19. See https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/steps-when-sick.html

COVID 19: Please isolate from other people. There have been very few dogs infected by COVID 19 with more cats (per studies in Wuhan). It is recommended that if you are ill with COVID that you don't allow your animal to lick your face/ mouth.
