Objects passed from one player to another have not been assessed for their ability to transmit severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We found that the surface of sport balls, notably a football, tennis ball, golf ball, and cricket ball could not harbour inactivated virus when it was swabbed onto the surface, even for 30 s. However, when high concentrations of 5000 dC/mL and 10,000 dC/mL are directly pipetted onto the balls, it could be detected after for short time periods. Sports objects can only harbour inactivated SARS-CoV-2 under specific, directly transferred conditions, but wiping with a dry tissue or moist 'baby wipe' or dropping and rolling the balls removes all detectable viral traces. This has helpful implications to sporting events.
从一名运动员传递给另一名运动员的物品尚未评估其传播严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）的能力。我们发现，运动球的表面，尤其是足球、网球、高尔夫球和板球，即使将灭活病毒涂抹在其表面30秒，也无法留存病毒。然而，当将5000 dC/mL和10000 dC/mL的高浓度病毒直接移液到球上时，短时间后即可检测到。运动物品仅在特定的直接转移条件下才能留存灭活的SARS-CoV-2，但用干纸巾擦拭、用湿“婴儿湿巾”擦拭或让球掉落和滚动都会消除所有可检测到的病毒痕迹。这对体育赛事具有有益的启示。
