Dutch authorities have required Covid-19 testing at all mink farms in the Netherlands after a mink was found to have infected a human with coronavirus.

“On the basis of new research results from the ongoing research into Covid-19 infections at mink farms, it is plausible that an infection took place from mink to human,” the Dutch government said in a statement.

“It also appears from this research that minks can have Covid-19 without displaying symptoms.”

Although it is possible that the minks were infected by humans first, more evidence shows that they may have been infected by cats before passing the virus to the human.

"Ongoing research shows the viruses at two of the infected farms are very similar," the statement said. Covid-19 was found in three out of 11 cats at one mink farm, it said.

"In the course of this investigation, it is advised that infected mink farms ensure that cats cannot enter or leave the farm premises."

World Health Organization spokesperson Fadela Chaib said last month that all available evidence says Covid-19 originated in bats, but experts have previously warned against drawing conclusions about other animals transmitting the virus to humans.
