As it was just announced that the deadly coronavirus has taken upwards of 2,000 lives across the globe, pet oweners in China are going the extra mile to keep their friends safe.

Photos on the Chinese social media app Weibo show cats wearing the masks which are mostly just surgical masks. Owners are just cutting holes in the material so the animal’s eyes are exposed while the rest of their face remains covered.

The photos of the new safety measures have surfaced after China’s National Health Commission said the coronavirus could affect cats and dogs, The Sun reported.

Even though canines can contract certain coronaviruses, according to the American Kennel Association “at present, there is no evidence that companion animals/pets such as dogs or cats can be infected with the new coronavirus,” the World Health Organization (WHO) recently said.

What’s more, there’s little evidence that surgical masks do much good in protecting humans for spreading or acquiring illnesses, an infectious disease doctor previously told Fox News.

Woof.
