The Danish prime minister said on Wednesday that the government wanted to curb all mints on Danish farms to reduce the risk of re-transmitting the new coronavirus to humans.
Matt Frederickson said a government agency report mapped the coronavirus in Denmark, finding 12 people in the northern part of the country who had been infected by monks. Health Minister Magnus Hunick said half the cases of human 783 COVID-19 in northern Denmark were related to “mink”.
“It’s very serious,” Frederickson said. “Thus, there could be worldwide catastrophic consequences of the virus transformed into mint.”

Denmark is one of the world’s leading mink fur exporters, producing an estimated 17 million furs a year. Copenhagen Fur, a cooperative of 1,500 Danish breeders, accounts for 40% of global mink production. Most of its exports go to China and Hong Kong.
According to government estimates, the country could spend 5 billion kroner (5 million) to spend 15 million rupees. “It should be done as soon as possible,” said National Police Chief Thorkild Fogde.
Denmark’s food minister, Mogens Jensen, said 207 farms had been infected since last month’s outbreak of 1, and the disease had spread to all of the western Jutland peninsula.
Last month, Denmark launched millions of mints in the north of the country. The government has promised compensation to farmers.
There have been 50,530 confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection and 729 deaths in the country.
