The mutated coronavirus may have killed more than 6.5438+0.5 million minks in Denmark: the local government decided to eliminate these animals because they have become carriers of infection and now threaten human health. For a long time, Europe has been planning to reduce the number of minks, but from a technical point of view, it is almost impossible to eliminate all their populations. According to the data from the Statens Serum Institute of the Danish Institute of Infectious Diseases, there were five outbreaks of infectious diseases in mink farms in the country. It is understood that about 12 infected employees have direct contact with animals-each of them has been diagnosed with reduced sensitivity to the antibody on which the vaccine is based. Denmark, the largest mink producer in the world, is planning to slaughter all minks in China to eliminate the threat of a new virus to human beings. Frederickson said that this decision was made with "heavy determination".
