This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 started in fall 2019. A range of different mammalian species, including farmed mink, have been confirmed as susceptible to infection with this virus. We report here the spillover of mink-adapted SARS-CoV-2 from farmed mink to humans after extensive adaptation that lasted at least 3 months. We found the presence of four mutations in the S gene (that gave rise to variant G75V, M177T, Y453F and C1247F) and others in an isolate obtained from SARS-CoV-2 positive patient.
