statement
SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected in airborne inhalable dust sampled inside the mink sheds during the acute outbreak (e.g. NB1 house A 2/3 samples positive at Ct 35.95 and 38.18; single positives in NB1 house B and NB2), becoming negative on later sampling after the outbreak subsided.

Detection of viral RNA in the airborne inhalable dust on the mink farms clearly suggests dust and/or droplets as means of transmission
data_basis

First sampling (28 Apr-1 May): NB1 house A 2/3 positive (Ct 35.95, 38.18); NB1 house B 1/3 (Ct 35.03); NB2 1/3 (Ct 35.14). Second and third sampling moments (16 May) were all negative. Establishes an airborne exposure route for anyone in the sheds during the acute phase.
