THE HAGUE: A Dutch mink farm worker likely caught coronavirus from the animals kept there, in the country’s first reported case of animal-to-human transmission, the agriculture minister said.
Researchers compared the genetic code of the virus found in the mink to that of the patient, creating a “family tree” to map its mutation, minister Carola Schouten said late Tuesday. The minister however downplayed fears of other animal-to-human infections, saying air and dust samples outside the mink pens did not contain any virus.
