SARS-CoV-2 in animals used for fur farming
GLEWS+ Risk assessment



Following the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in minks and humans in several countries, a joint FAO–OIE–WHO Global Early Warning System (GLEWS+) qualitative risk assessment on SARS-CoV-2 in animals farmed for fur was conducted.


Circulation of this virus in mink farms impacts livelihoods and public health, contributing to associated socio-economic disruption. In addition, the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in fur farms impacts animal health and welfare and poses a risk of spillover to native wildlife, which may affect species biodiversity or create new wildlife reservoirs for the virus.


The overall risk of introduction and spread of SARS-CoV-2 within fur farms, the spillover to humans in these farms and the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from fur farmed animals to susceptible wildlife populations was assessed at the regional level.

This assessment provides a series of recommendations for prevention and control measures on fur farms to increase biosecurity, reduce the likelihood of SARS-CoV-2 introduction and spread within fur farms, and mitigate the public health risk.
