a) Animal has clinical signs suggestive of SARS-CoV-2 infection (described above) and all other likely differential diagnostic aetiologies have been effectively ruled out by a veterinarian;
AND
b) Animal has an epidemiological link with a confirmed human COVID-19 patient or SARS-CoV-2-infected animal, or a suggestive case history indicating potential exposure.
4.2.2 Confirmed case:
The following defines a laboratory-confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 infection in an animal (with or without clinical signs):
- SARS-CoV-2 has been isolated from a sample* taken directly from an animal;
OR
- Viral nucleic acid has been identified in a sample [*] taken directly from an animal, giving cause for suspicion of previous association or contact with SARS-CoV-2, by
