According to the Statesman Journal reporting (which can't be linked here due to copyright stuff), mink farm outbreaks have also occurred in Michigan, Utah and Wisconsin.

Has anyone in MI, UT, or WI heard about mink farm outbreaks?

Other than that, they've been completely forthcoming.

And I was just reading an article which suggested that Minks were one of the few or only animals which have been shown to be able to infect humans with COVID-19.
