According to the US Department of Agriculture, a wild mink had tested positive to COVID-19 around an infected mink farm that is located in Utah.
Coronavirus outbreaks at wild animal farms in Europe and the United States have killed thousands of animals.
As a result, millions of farmed mink had to be killed across Europe.
The virus has also been found in snow leopards and zoo tigers in the United States and in a small number of household dogs and cats.
