Six countries have reported coronavirus cases among farmed mink, the World Health Organization announced. The concern over mink population infections arises from the recent discovery of mutations in the virus among farmed mink in Denmark. By as early as April, Dutch officials noted the presence of COVID-19 among at least two mink farms. Spain discovered more cases on mink farms in July, leading to a cull of around 100,000 in that instance. Overall, the Spanish and Dutch governments culled around 1 million mink at farms across both countries.
