The transmission potential of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) includes exposure duration of the virus, the number of viral particles one is exposed to and the route of exposure such as inhalation or skin contact [1, 2] . When SARS-CoV-2 positive control materials at 1,000 and 5,000 dC/mL concentrations are applied onto the whole surface of sport balls using BD polyester swabs, there was no detectable levels of the virus when observing the variables imposed in the experiment, including very short term testing after 30 seconds. On the other hand, when positive control at 5,000 copies/mL and 10,000 copies/mL concentrations are directly applied to the surface of cricket ball there are detectable levels of the virus at 30 seconds, 5 minutes and 1 hour (experiment 3).	./cache/cord-311696-ccbc1k1m.txt	./txt/cord-311696-ccbc1k1m.txt
