Susceptibility studies have shown that cats, ferrets are also susceptible to the virus and can be infected. FMTNews Mink Farmworkers
GENEVA: The World Health Organization said Tuesday that Dutch workers apparently infected with the coronavirus by minks could be the first known cases of animal-to-human transmission.
“But we are still collecting and reviewing more data to understand if animals and pets can spread the disease,” it said. The infection happened before it was known that the mink were carrying the virus, meaning that workers did not wear protective clothing at the time. Most scientists believe the virus jumped from animals to humans, possibly in a market that sells exotic animals for meat in the city of Wuhan.
