We investigated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) environmental contamination in 2 rooms of a quarantine hotel after 2 presymptomatic persons who stayed there were laboratory-confirmed as having coronavirus disease. Approximately 3 hours after the 2 patients were identified as positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA, we sampled the environmental surfaces of the 2 rooms in the centralized quarantine hotel in which they had stayed. One surface sample from the faucet in patient B's room was positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA; the C t was 28.75 for the ORF1ab gene. We also detected SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the surface swab samples of the pillow cover, duvet cover, and sheet. SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been detected on environmental surfaces in isolation rooms where the symptomatic or paucisymptomatic patients stayed for several days (3) (4) (5) . ./cache/cord-340351-ee8wjp5u.txt ./txt/cord-340351-ee8wjp5u.txt
