The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration confirmed on the 5th that in about three months, Denmark has completed the slaughter of more than 15 million mink in the country to prevent a Variant novel coronavirus found in breeding mink from infecting more people.
The government agency said that the slaughter of national mink farming has been completed, but some zoo mink or domestic pet mink may still survive.
The World Health Organization says that the novel coronavirus is transmitted from infected people to farmed mink, and mink then spreads COVID-19 among their peers, which poses a risk of transmission to people.
