It was in October that the first case of corona infection was found among minks in Sweden, on a mink farm in Sölvesborg.
At that time, infection was found among minks and staff.
Infection has since been found on another 12 farms in the area, and the state veterinary institution began conducting weekly tests.
According to BLT, a gratifying message has now come after the testing from week 51: No corona infection on Listerland's mink farms.
- During the autumn, we tested both minks and staff who work with mink in large numbers. After the 13 found infected farms on Listerlandet, we have fortunately not received more cases. Most of the staff who have been infected have had mild symptoms, only a few have needed hospital care, says Jörgen Martinsson, CEO of Swedish mink, to the newspaper.
