According to a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it may be possible to get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching your face.
But it appears that the virus can spread from people to animals in some situations.
A small number of pets were reported to be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, mostly after close contact with people with COVID-19.
However, the current COVID-19 pandemic suggests that this virus is spreading more efficiently than influenza, but not as efficiently as measles, which is highly contagious.
