The FEI hosted a two-hour stakeholder consultation session to review comprehensive draft Return To Competition protocols. The measures are aimed at, in the short term, minimising the risks associated with the restart of FEI competitions in mainland Europe on 12 April 2021 and, in the long term, increasing biosecurity knowledge, skills and awareness among all FEI stakeholders in order to prevent a recurrence of the devastating the EHV-1 outbreak. See Updates for full details.
Plans for the departure of the last horses from Valencia continued. Four horses are still in the Valencia veterinary clinic, but all are expected to be cleared fit to leave this week. Paperwork for these horses is being processed.
A total of 171 horses remain onsite in Vejer de la Frontera completing their 21-day isolation period.
Additional biosecurity guidelines now available in a new section on the EHV-1 hub, including best practice for setting up isolation units, monitoring and managing horses in isolation and correct cleaning and disinfection measures. Click here to go directly to this section.
