The best advice seems to be keep washing your hands and avoid social contacts. That would mean avoiding strangers on walks with you pet. Don't handle your pet if you are sick. These are simple things. If we are all careful we should come through this okay.
Pets can be wonderful companions while we are staying home. If we use lots of soap and water we should all be safe.
