Researchers take coronavirus from human patients and infect cats with Coronavirus. Each cat is housed in a cage with another cat that tested negative for Coronavirus.

 

Within five days, coronavirus was found in all newly exposed cats.

 

None of the cats ever showed any coronavirus symptoms.

 

“There was no sneezing, no coughing, they never had a high body temperature or lost any weight,” Halfmann said. “If a pet owner looked at them ... they wouldn’t have noticed anything.”

When Yvette Stephens arrives at Newark Liberty International Airport on Tuesday morning to begin her shift as a security guard, she'll be carrying a dozen or so respiratory masks to share with her co-workers who are concerned that a passenger with coronavirus could be arriving at their terminal.
