The government there announced that martens will be killed on another farm where the infection appeared. Scientists are examining whether martens can transmit coronavirus to humans and how they infected it on marten farms in Spain and the Netherlands. Meanwhile, Dutch authorities have killed more than a million kuna on breeding farms as a precautionary measure. According to the data of the Agency for Food Safety and Consumer Products, more than 1.1 million kunas were killed on 26 Dutch farms where the epidemic occurred. The government there announced that kuna would be killed on another farm where the infection appeared. Although not yet proven, the coronavirus is thought to be derived from animals, namely bats. The virus has been previously confirmed in some other animals, cats, tigers, and dogs, but it has not been proven that they can transmit it to humans. It is assumed that the kuna became infected through infected workers. Scientists now want to prove whether that was the case and how dangerous the situation could be. Dutch research shows that the type of virus in kuna is similar to that which spreads among humans. Scientists assume that it is possible for the virus to be transmitted again to people from kuna, and they assume that several farm workers became infected just like that. The World Health Organization, the World Organization for Animal Health, and several universities and research centers are investigating the transmission of the new corona virus between humans and animals. The Netherlands, which has about 160 kuna farms and is the fourth largest fur producer in the world after Denmark, China and Poland. Spain has 38 active marten farms, mostly in Galicia. Both Spain and the Netherlands have tightened the hygiene protocol on farms and banned the transport of animals and visits to the buildings in which they are kept.
