The greater risk from animals is the virus can live on their hair like on other surfaces possibly for days. So if someone who is sick sneezes into their hand then pets your dog,cat,horse, and later you pet your animal then touch your face. Guess what could happen.
There is a disinfectant for animals BUT it probably does not work for Cronovirus.
This disinfectant probably won't work for Corona Virus (see note) but it may be something to keep on hand for other nastiness.

NOTE
"Thus, SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the betaCoVs category. It has round or elliptic and often pleomorphic form, and a diameter of approximately 60–140 nm. Like other CoVs, it is sensitive to ultraviolet rays and heat. Furthermore, these viruses can be effectively inactivated by lipid solvents including ether (75%), ethanol, chlorine-containing disinfectant, peroxyacetic acid and chloroform except for chlorhexidine."
