Coronavirus, Europe, Greece, Health, Mink

The new coronavirus has been found in mink at two farms in northern Greece, an agriculture ministry official said on Friday.

The strain found in the mink had not mutated from that found in humans, the official said.

The breeder at one of the farms, in the northerly Kozani region, also tested positive for the virus, and tests were being conducted on workers. A cull of the 2,500 mink at that farm was due to begin shortly.
