Coronavirus: Families foster pets during outbreak

Animal shelters in a number of countries have reported a surge in requests to foster an animal during the coronavirus pandemic.

For some facilities this is welcome news as they struggle with a smaller workforce or being forced to close.

But some UK based charities have suspended fostering temporarily and there have been renewed warnings that a pet is a long-term commitment.
