If i am ill with covid-19, are there special precautions i should take to prevent spreading covid to my pets?

COVID 19: Very few pets (dogs and cats) have tested positive for COVID 19 at this time. In those rare cases, they were infected by their owners. Consider less face licking and practice good hygiene. Wash hands often with warm water & soap for at least 20 seconds. Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth unless hands have just been washed. If you are actually ill, may want to reduce contact.
