Dead mink infected with a possible mutated form of COVID-19 is removed from the graves after burial in Denmark

There are 1,139 mink farms in Denmark, employing around 6,000 people. Breeders say scrapping will end the industry. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen visited a mink farm in northern Denmark on Thursday and said it was “emotional”. The operators “their lives were shattered in a very, very short time,” he said before wiping away his tears with his finger.
