A kitten has become the first animal to be infected by Covid-19 in South Korea after catching the virus from its owners.
The kitten was infected at the International Prayer Centre, a missionary school in the southern city of Jinju where more than 100 people have been infected.
The pet kitten was tested along with its mother and sibling when the cats were being transferred to an animal shelter.
Cats with Covid have been reported in Britain, Brazil and Japan, while a dog died in Hong Kong last year after testing positive for the virus.
