The German Shepherd living in the Pok Fu Lam area was sent for quarantine along with another mixed-breed dog from the same residence, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department in Hong Kong said in a statement on Mar 19. “No positive results were obtained from the mixed-breed dog and neither dog has shown any signs of disease,” it said. Earlier, a 17-year-old Pomeranian tested weak positive during repeated tests for the virus, according to the AFCD statement. That dog died two days after it was released from quarantine. “At present, the AFCD does not have evidence that pet animals can be infected with COVID-19 virus or can be a source of infection to people.
