Schematic representation of the time-line of events in the first month of a SARS-CoV-2 outbreak on two mink farms, the Netherlands, April 2020
Covid-19: coronavirus disease; NB1/NB2: Farms 1 and 2 in North Brabant; PPE: personal protective equipment; SARS-CoV-2: severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.
Dates of significant events are shown with the corresponding findings. Cases of (suspected) human Covid-19 infections in farm workers that coincided with the SARS-CoV-2 infection of the minks are excluded from this report. Analysis of those cases is currently being performed and will be reported in a subsequent publication. Asterisks indicate the dates on which dust samples collected inside the mink farm buildings were found positive for viral RNA.
