Netherlands: Denmark Struggling with COVID-19 Prevalence in its Mink Industry

Coronavirus (COVID-19) infections are spreading rapidly among Danish mink farms. As of November 1, 2020, the Danish Veterinary Service reported 191 cases of the virus on Danish mink farms. In an attempt to stop the virus from spreading, the Danish Government has ordered the clearing of mink at all farms located within a radius of 7.8 km of an infected farm (bringing in another 209 farms). The 400 farms account for a little more than one-third of the Danish industry. Meanwhile, Danish politicians have varying positions on the future of mink production in the country. The Danish Government, however, believes that the sector is economically important and that there must still be a Danish mink industry after the COVID-19 pandemic.
