Netherlands: Additional Control Measures for Dutch Mink Industry In Response to COVID-19

Based on these developments, the Minister of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality and the Minister of Health, Welfare, and Sport will implement a number of control measures. Herein is an unofficial summary/translation of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality’s announcement.
