Study Shows Your Dog Could Be Super Spreader

Fido could be exposing you and your family to the coronavirus.

Spanish researchers say the risk of catching coronavirus jumps 78-percent for people who walk their dogs. The report suggests that dogs could be catching the virus and spreading it inside the home.

'The reason for this higher prevalence has yet to be elucidated. Taking into account the current scarcity of resources to carry out the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 in humans, the possibility of diagnosis in dogs is extremely unlikely.'

The other big spreader? Supermarket delivery services!

According to The Daily Mail:

Activities that were linked to an increased risk of testing positive included accepting supermarket deliveries at home, which raised the risk by 94 per cent and was found to be more dangerous than actually going to the shop.

Working at an office versus working at home increased the risk of catching the virus by 76-percent.
