Basically all the mink from the fur-industri in the entire country will be killed off.
A mutation of covid-19 has been found that seems to be resistant to in-development vaccines as the mutations are specific to the outside spike-proteins instead of the insides. 12 people have been identified being infected with the new mutation.
To prevent the new strain to spread to the rest of the world this has been forced through. All the mink farmers will be financially compensated.
The mink industry should and will be killed of in the future anyway. In the Netherlands we had quite a few infections as well and were going to end this industry in a few years, this might speed it up.
