CDC's Response to COVID-19

CDC’s One Health Office and Georgia Aquarium Work Together to Investigate Otters with SARS-CoV-2

Like many other zoonotic infectious diseases, SARS-CoV-2 – the virus that causes COVID-19 — does not respect species boundaries. It poses a risk to not only people, but to animals as well. The COVID-19 pandemic is the latest example of a disease emerging as a result of close contact between animals and people. A One Health investigation into Asian small-clawed otters with SARS-CoV-2 infection involved CDC’s One Health Office, Georgia Aquarium, and the Georgia Department of Public Health to learn how the otters became infected and prevent the virus from spreading further.
