Officials believe the cats contracted the virus from people in their households or neighborhoods.
Dr. Casey Barton Behravesh, a CDC official who works on human-animal health connections, told the Associated Press: “We don’t want people to panic. We don’t want people to be afraid of pets.
“There’s no evidence that pets are playing a role in spreading this disease to people.”
She urged people there is no need to rush to get their cats tested for the coronavirus, which has already infected more than 819,175 people across the United States.
