Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection among pets owned by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients has been reported around the world. However, how often the animals are exposed to SARS-CoV-2 by their owners is still unclear. We have collected swab samples from COVID-19 patients' pets and performed real-time RT-PCR to detect the viral genome. In total, 8 of 53 dogs (15.1%) and 5 of 34 cats (14.7%) tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 N gene. The result of a virus neutralization (VN) test also showed VN antibodies in four cats and six dogs. Our results indicate that the virus often passed from infected owners to their pets, which then excreted the virus despite having no or mild clinical signs.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2（SARS-CoV-2）感染在 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）患者拥有的宠物中已在世界各地报道。然而，动物通过主人接触 SARS-CoV-2 的频率尚不清楚。我们从 COVID-19 患者的宠物身上采集了拭子样本，并进行了实时 RT-PCR 检测病毒基因组。总共，在 53 只狗中有 8 只（15.1%）和 34 只猫中有 5 只（14.7%）的 SARS-CoV-2 N 基因检测呈阳性。病毒中和（VN）试验的结果也显示四只猫和六只狗有 VN 抗体。我们的结果表明，病毒经常从感染的主人传给他们的宠物，尽管宠物没有或只有轻微的临床症状，但它们仍会排出病毒。
