US veterinary officials, in communication with the International Society for Infectious Diseases has informed that a wild mink from a farm in Utah had tested positive for the virus. Prior to this cases were reported among farmed minks at fur farms across Europe and the US, which has led to millions of them being culled to limit infection. This is the first reported case among wild mink, or among a “free-ranging wild mink”, increasing fears of the zoonotic virus spreading among wild animals. 

But there is still no evidence to suggest that it may be passed on from mink to mink outside farms. As per the report, the strain of COVID-19 detected in the wild mink was identical to the strain which were discovered in a mink on a farm close to its location.
