Denmark‘s government says it wants to dig up mink that were culled to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, after some of the thousands resurfaced from mass graves.Denmark ordered all farmed mink to be culled earlier this month after finding that 12 people had been infected by a mutated strain of the virus that causes COVID-19, which passed from humans to mink and back to humans.The decision led to the resignation last week of Food and Agriculture Minister Morgens Jensen, after it was determined that the order was illegal.
