Dozens of captive animal species have been found infected or proven able to be experimentally infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The virus has also been found in over a dozen wild animal species. Most animal species that can get the virus have not been proven to be able to spread it back to humans.
Some 2,000 animals have been expected to be killed after a worker in a pet shop tested positive for the virus, which was also found among the pets. Conscious of the virus' ability to spread among hamsters, [38] and the possibility of transmission between species, in line with the territory's 'zero covid' policy, the cull was invoked. [39]

After cross-species transmission of a virus, rapid evolution and positive selection are expected. [47] Several studies found only weak signs of adaptive evolution early in the COVID-19 pandemic. [c] Kang et al. wrote that SARS-CoV-2 had exhibited relatively little genetic variation by 2021. [47]
