Covid infected mink found loose in Limburg, Netherlands
Two minks with coronavirus infections were found running loose in Noord-Brabant and Limburg over the past days. According to Agriculture Minister Carola Schouten, the chance that these animals infected persons in the area is negligible, she said in a letter to parliament.
One infected mink was caught in the vicinity of Deurne in Noord-Brabant, the other in Egchel in Limburg. The Minister assumes they came from infected fur farms that were recently culled.
