Humans are not the only ones at risk from COVID-19; animals are at risk from COVID-19 too.


There are several animals already that have been infected with COVID-19 so far. These animals include tigers, chimpanzees, sheep and mink.


Recently, 10,000 mink were reported to be dead from the virus. The mink were infected with the virus by humans.


The virus can be passed from humans to animals and from animals to humans, which is why people are being told to socially distance from wild animals recently. It is believed that there is ''considerable risk'' of humans passing on the virus to wild animals.
