Fans can rest easy: Winston the pug didn't have coronavirus after all.
— Dr. Heather McLean, Sam McLean and their son — tested positive for COVID-19 in March, and researchers at Duke University, where Heather works, administered tests on everyone in the household as part of a study on how the coronavirus can be treated.
Dr. Shelley Rankin, a professor of veterinary microbiology at University of Pennsylvania who is unaffiliated with the Duke study, told USA TODAY that there may have been discrepancies in how research labs such as Duke's and veterinary diagnostic labs such as USDA's facilitate testing and the handling of the infected specimen.Rankin explained that false positives"can also occur if the original specimen had a very low number of organisms.
Still, Rankin suggests avoiding contact with your pets if you have COVID-19. If you are unable to find someone else to take care of your pet, the AVMA suggests that you wear a mask with every interaction and wash your hands before and after.Follow Joshua Bote on Twitter:
