A spokesperson for the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department said today that another case of pet infection has been reported in Hong Kong, involving a German Shepherd residing in the Pok Fu Lam area.
The dog's owner was confirmed to have COVID-19, and after being quarantined, the dog repeatedly tested positive for the virus, but "did not show any related symptoms."
So, is it actually "infection" or "contamination"? Don't blame the dogs again!
Definition of infection
"Infection" refers to the process of pathogens replicating and reproducing within a host, and the host should exhibit "symptoms"!
If the pathogen merely attaches to the dog's body, fails to undergo the "replication and reproduction process" within the dog's body, and there are no "symptoms," then it cannot be called an "infection"!
