Israelis returning from Denmark refusing virus testing for mink mutation — TV

Most Israelis who recently returned from Denmark are refusing to get checked for a coronavirus mutation linked to minks in the European country, according to Channel 12.

Just 40 of the 180 Israelis who were in Denmark recently have agreed and are cooperating with the IDF’s Home Front Command on the issue, the network says.

The Health Ministry has said it’s unlikely they’re carrying the mutation, but reports on Monday suggested health officials suspect at least three may be indeed infected with the strain.
