A dog whose owner has coronavirus has now also tested positive for the bug.
The Pomeranian is now in quarantine for 14 days after rectal, oral and nasal samples showed the canine has a ‘weak level’ of the virus.
The dog has not been exhibiting symptoms and it’s thought it may only be carrying the virus from “environmental contamination”.
Officials at the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department have now insisted the pooch be kept in isolation so its condition can be monitored and further tests carried out.
