The Galician Association of Mink Breeders (Agavi) has stated that it is "scientifically accepted" that animals become infected with coronavirus through humans and that the reverse route "is not proven today."

"The protocols thus developed have been applied to all farms, in order to prevent the entry of the virus into farms from infected workers ," the association stressed.
