There have been np evidence of pets getting infected with 2019-nCoV.

WHO (the World Health Organization) has earlier made a statement that there has not any evidence that pets, such as cats and dogs, may be infected with the 2019-nCoV. The agency said it is inevident if this virus can affect animals’ health and there have not been any reports of particular events involving any species.
