The pet dog of a coronavirus patient in Hong Kong was confirmed to be infected with the disease, in a likely case of human-to-animal transmission. The dog, which belongs to a 60-year-old woman patient, had repeatedly tested "weak positive" for the new coronavirus since Friday when it was quarantined at an animal centre. However, the pomeranian has not shown any novel coronavirus symptoms yet, the officials said.
