    Since December, 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected more than 100?000 patients globally.1 COVID-19 is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and has a case-fatality rate of 2·3%, with higher rates among elderly patients and patients with comorbidities.2 Person-to-person transmission is efficient, with multiple clusters reported. Clinically, patients with COVID-19 present with respiratory symptoms, which is very similar to the presentation of other respiratory virus infections.

    • Abstract The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in China and rapidly spread worldwide. Toprevent SARS-CoV-2 dissemination, understanding the in vivo characteristics of SARS-CoV2 is a high priority. We report a ferret model of SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission thatrecapitulates aspects of human disease. SARS-CoV-2-infected ferrets exhibit elevated bodytemperatures and virus replication. Although fatalities were not observed, SARS-CoV-2-infected ferrets shed virus in nasal washes, saliva, urine and feces up to 8 days post infection. At 2 days post-contact, SARS-CoV-2 was detected in all naïve direct contactferrets. Furthermore, a few naïve indirect contact ferrets were positive for viral RNA,suggesting airborne transmission.
