Coronavirus diagnosed at 54th Dutch mink farm

The SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus infected the mink on a farm in the Netherlands for the 54th time in five months, the government said. Approximately 6,500 mothering animals and their offspring will be culled as a result of the discovery. “The contamination came to light from the ‘Early Warning’, the monitoring system in which animals are tested for the virus every week,” the government said in a statement. The farm is located in Meijel, part of the Peel en Maas municipality in Limburg.Submitted by Zack Newmark on Friday, 18 September 2020 - 17:40 https://nltimes.nl/2020/09/18/coronavirus-diagnosed-54th-dutch-mink-farm
