My dad bought a new pillow for our pet hamster. And he sniffed the pillow near his nose if there is any dust or any smell on it. So I am worried because the pillow was not packed and maybe many people handled or touched it with their hands and we didn't put sanitizer on it. He is 50 years old. So can it cause corona? Please reply soon. Please anyone reply soon.

Hi lybrate-user as per who & cdc's latest update there is no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading sars-cov-2, the virus that causes covid-19, to people. Additionally worldwide many medical professionals are carrying out research on the effectiveness of covid19 virus on small animals such as hamster, ferrets etc. And yet to come into a definitive conclusion. Hence request you to not get panicked and administer any immunity booster to keep up his/her health condition.
