These recommendations were developed to minimize the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission from people to free-ranging, wild mammals. Specifically, these recommendations are for people engaged in wildlife work in the field, either in direct contact (e.g. handling) or indirect contact (e.g. within 2 meters or in a confined space) with free-ranging wild mammals, or working in situations in which free-ranging wild mammals may come in contact with surfaces or materials contaminated by infected personnel.
