Can pets' fur, collars, leashes, and carriers serve as fomites for sars-cov-2?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low risk: Potentially,if an infected person touches these surfaces, they may leave SARS-Cov-2 virus behind. The virus can live for short periods of time on soft/ porous surfaces. BUT, please remember that surface contamination is not the major mode of transmission for COVID 19.

Good morning doctors. Two questions. 1..if doctors can determine if someone has covid, why can't they use that information to stop it? 2..why is covid19 "staying around" longer than did previous viruses, like SARS, H1N1...why can't it end like these?
So I've been in contact with five direct contacts of two people who tested positive for the SARS Codiv 2. Should I be scared? I Don't have any symptoms.
