Dutch authorities say they will cull more than 1,100 mink as the new coronavirus was discovered on another farm in the Netherlands, making 25 in total.
The latest outbreak, in the small town of Westerbeek near the German border, was discovered when mink cubs were tested before they were to be transported to another location, the agriculture ministry said.
The Netherlands has strict regulations to contain a growing outbreak of the coronavirus on mink farms and a week ago said cubs could be taken to other empty locations “with the eye on animal welfare” if they were not infected.
