excerpt: COVID-19 and animals
---

There is no reason at this time to think that any animals, including pets, in the United States might be a source of infection with this new coronavirus that causes COVID-19. To date, CDC has not received any reports of pets or other animals becoming sick with COVID-19 in the United States.
At this time, there is no evidence that companion animals, including pets, can spread COVID-19 to people or that they might be a source of infection in the United States. To date, CDC has not received any reports of pets becoming sick with COVID-19 in the United States.

Pets have other types of coronaviruses that can make them sick, like canine and feline coronaviruses. These other coronaviruses cannot infect people and are not related to the current COVID-19 outbreak.

However, since animals can spread other diseases to people, it’s always a good idea to practice [healthy habits](https://www.cdc.gov/healthypets/publications/stay-healthy-pets.html) around pets and other animals, such as washing your hands and maintaining good hygiene. For more information on the many benefits of pet ownership, as well as staying safe and healthy around animals including pets, livestock, and wildlife, visit CDC’s [Healthy Pets, Healthy People](https://www.cdc.gov/healthypets/index.html) website.

Information about [COVID-19 in children](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/faq.html) is somewhat limited, but the information that is available suggests that children with confirmed COVID-19 generally had mild symptoms. Person-to-person spread from or to children, as among adults, is thought to occur mainly via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. Recent studies indicate that people who are infected but do not have symptoms likely also play a role in the spread of COVID-19.

However, a small percentage of children have been reported to have more severe illness. People who have serious chronic medical conditions are believed to be at higher risk. Despite lower risk of serious illness among most children, children with COVID-19-like symptoms should avoid contact with others who might be at higher risk, such as older adults and adults with serious chronic medical conditions.

We still do not know if a pregnant woman with COVID-19 can pass the virus that causes COVID-19 to her fetus or baby during pregnancy or delivery. No infants born to mothers with COVID-19 have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. In these cases, which are a small number, the virus was not found in samples of amniotic fluid or breastmilk.
- Mother-to-child transmission of coronavirus during pregnancy is unlikely, but after birth a newborn is susceptible to person-to-person spread.
- A very small number of babies have tested positive for the virus shortly after birth. However, it is unknown if these babies got the virus before or after birth.
- The virus has not been detected in amniotic fluid, breastmilk, or other maternal samples.

Pregnant women should do the same things as the general public to avoid infection. You can help stop the spread of COVID-19 by taking these actions:
* Cover your cough (using your elbow is a good technique)
* Avoid people who are sick
* Clean your hands often using soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer

This interim guidance is intended for women who are confirmed to have COVID-19 or are <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/clinical-criteria.html"> persons-under-investigation (PUI)</a> for COVID-19 and are currently breastfeeding. This interim guidance is based on what is currently known about COVID-19 and the transmission of other viral respiratory infections. CDC will update this interim guidance as needed as additional information becomes available. For breastfeeding guidance in the immediate postpartum setting, refer to <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/inpatient-obstetric-healthcare-guidance.html"> Interim Considerations for Infection Prevention and Control of 2019 Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Inpatient Obstetric Healthcare Settings</a>.

**Transmission of COVID-19 through breast milk**

Much is unknown about <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/transmission.html"> how COVID-19 is spread</a>. Person-to-person spread is thought to occur mainly via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes, similar to how influenza (flu) and other respiratory pathogens spread. In limited studies on women with COVID-19 and another coronavirus infection, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV), the virus has not been detected in breast milk; however we do not know whether mothers with COVID-19 can transmit the virus via breast milk.

**CDC breastfeeding guidance for other infectious illnesses**

Breast milk provides protection against many illnesses. There are <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/breastfeeding-special-circumstances/contraindications-to-breastfeeding.html"> rare exceptions when breastfeeding or feeding expressed breast milk is not recommended</a>. CDC has no specific guidance for breastfeeding during infection with similar viruses like SARS-CoV or Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV).

Outside of the immediate postpartum setting, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/breastfeeding-special-circumstances/maternal-or-infant-illnesses/influenza.html"> CDC recommends that a mother with flu continue breastfeeding or feeding expressed breast milk to her infant</a> while taking precautions to avoid spreading the virus to her infant.

### Guidance on breastfeeding for mothers with confirmed COVID-19 or under investigation for COVID-19 ###

Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for most infants. However, much is unknown about COVID-19. Whether and how to start or continue breastfeeding should be determined by the mother in coordination with her family and healthcare providers. A mother with confirmed COVID-19 or who is a symptomatic PUI should <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/guidance-prevent-spread.html"> take all possible precautions</a> to avoid spreading the virus to her infant, including washing her hands before touching the infant and wearing a face mask, if possible, while feeding at the breast. If expressing breast milk with a manual or electric breast pump, the mother should wash her hands before touching any pump or bottle parts and follow <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/hygiene/healthychildcare/infantfeeding/breastpump.html"> recommendations</a> for proper pump cleaning after each use. If possible, consider having someone who is well feed the expressed breast milk to the infant.
- **Breast milk provides protection against many illnesses** and is the best source of nutrition for most infants.

- **In limited studies, COVID-19 has not been detected in breast milk**; however we do not know for sure whether mothers with COVID-19 can spread the virus via breast milk.
- If you are sick and choose to **direct breastfeed**:
- Wear a facemask and wash your hands before each feeding.
- If the you are sick and choose to **express breast milk**:
- Express breast milk to establish and maintain milk supply.
- A dedicated breast pump should be provided.
- Wash hands before touching any pump or bottle parts and before expressing breast milk.
- Follow **recommendations for proper pump cleaning** after each use, cleaning all parts that come into contact with breast milk.
- If possible, consider having someone who is well feed the expressed breast milk to the infant.
