In the evidence summarized by this node, no animal-to-human cases were documented, and no evidence showed that SARS-CoV-2 spreads to people from a pet's skin, fur, or hair. Experimental confirmation of transmission between cats nevertheless prompted researchers to call for further study of whether infected cats without noticeable symptoms could act as intermediate hosts. This evidence supports investigation of pet-to-human transmission, not a conclusion that it is established or likely.
