Danish legislators on Monday passed a law to ban mink breeding until December 2021, following last month's cull of approximately 17 million mink because researchers had found a COVID-19 mutation in the animals. But officials will now exhume millions of mink from mass graves after some carcasses resurfaced because of fears they could contaminate ground water.

Sweden’s prime minister is warning the government is prepared to introduce stricter measures if a resurgence of coronavirus numbers is not halted. Sweden has never imposed a nationwide lockdown but instead asked people to keep good hygiene and reasonable physical distance.
