During the week, it has been discovered that mink covid-19 infection can be transmitted to humans in such a mutated way that it may pose a threat to future vaccinations.
The discovery has led to strong measures in Denmark. 14 million minks will be killed, and seven municipalities in the northern part of Jutland will be affected by a hard shutdown.
Now, the British government announces that it is introducing a travel ban for all travelers to Denmark, Ekstrabladet reports.
The reason is precisely the crown bud between minks.
The entry ban came into effect at 05:00 on Saturday morning. British citizens returning from Denmark will be quarantined for 14 days.
Germany is also now cracking down on the Danes. As of Sunday, all of Denmark is considered a risk area and all Danish tourists crossing the German border must be quarantined for 14 days, BT writes.
Vaccine concerns: it may be less effective
In Denmark, twelve people have been infected with the mutated virus that has been called “group 5”.
In addition to infection, there is concern that development will affect the vaccine, according to Tire Grove Krause of the Statens Serum Institut, SSI.
– This may mean that some of the vaccines in the future will be less effective against these variations of the virus, he says.
