I am not sure this article clarifies things much, but it is clear that it is considered unlikely that a dog or cat would get Covid 19.

I think they are right that pets could help calm their owners. Certainly sharing quarantine with a pet would make the time go better.
I just hope that the calm attitude continues and that people don't end up panicking. Animals never do well when people panic.
