| Affected population |
The minks were bred for their fur in a farm. Evidence of contamination was established within the framework of passive surveillance due to increased mortality. 169 minks were found dead and randomly 10 were sampled and tested by PCR and were positive to SARS-CoV2. Next day out of 155 found dead 22 were sampled and all tested positive to SARS-CoV2 by PCR. In total 5 farm workers were detected positive to COVID-19. |
