The owner is quarantined, what should the cats at home do? Recently, a patient diagnosed with COVID-19 in Poly Lily Garden Community, Shiyang Street, Chengdu High-tech Zone asked the community for help: After he was quarantined, his cat at home was locked in the bathroom for several days. What should he do?

No one has mercy on the epidemic. After learning about this request for help, on the basis of doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control and environmental disinfection, Chengdu High-tech Zone CDC, public security and community volunteers came to help with cat food.

The law enforcement recorder of Auxiliary Police Officer Lei Jiajun of the Patrol Brigade of the High-tech Zone Branch of the Chengdu Public Security Bureau recorded this process: everyone changed the cat's litter, replaced the water basin with clean water, put fresh cat food in the cat's bowl, and opened a box of canned cats as a reward. All matters related to the process have been approved by the cat owner.

When he saw someone coming in, the kitten came over meowing "meow", and the anal swab test went very smoothly.

"The original intention of epidemic prevention is to protect life. While building a strong safety line of defense, every life should be cherished and respected, and pets are no exception. I hope cat owners can reunite with their cats as soon as possible after the epidemic is over." Lei Jiajun said.

Currently, the kitten’s nucleic acid test result shows negative. "Pets are also members of our citizens' families. As law enforcement officers, we must strictly abide by epidemic prevention regulations and humanistic care is also indispensable during law enforcement." Lei Jiajun said.
