Speaking at a press conference on November 6, Maria Van Kerkhove, technical lead at the WHO Health Emergencies Program, said more research needs to be done on the variant of COVID-19 that has been found in minks in Denmark. The Danish government announced plans on November 4 to cull all remaining minks in the country, saying a mutation of the virus could spread back to humans and interfere with vaccine effectiveness.
