Dr Ellie’s advice for small businesses coming out of lockdown.
We spoke to Dr Ellie Cannon who has answered some popular questions from small business owners in the UK, who are opening their doors after lock. Here’s her advice...
Can my pet give me coronavirus?
There is currently no evidence which suggests that humans can contract COVID-19 from their pets including dogs and cats. However, it is always a good idea to wash your hands after coming into contact with pets and other animals as some bacteria and viruses can spread from animals to humans.
Zoflora can be used to kill viruses on many surfaces in your home, including those specific to pets. When using Zoflora in homes with pets just make sure to exclude pets from the area before use and allow surfaces to dry completely before allowing your pets back into the area.
