In mink, the Danes have detected a mutation in the coronavirus that also infects humans, closing seven counties.

Coronavirus – the second wave

Half a year after the spring outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the second wave of the pandemic has arrived. The radical increase in the number of infected is forcing more and more countries to re-impose restrictions, despite the fact that the world economy has not even recovered from the effects of the spring outbreak. According to the posters, the second wave also reached Hungary. Follow our news!

Seven counties in northern Denmark are under strict quarantine after a mutation in the coronavirus that also infects humans was detected in the local mink population, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced.

Bars, restaurants and schools in affected counties will be closed and public transportation will be stopped. And people were told not to leave the area or travel there. The measure will remain in effect until December 3 for now.

Denmark has decided to euthanize minks raised for their fur to prevent the spread of the new strain of the virus, which authorities say may be even more resistant to future vaccines.
