The FEI has updated their timeline with information about the EHV-1 outbreak. On the 19th of March, the FEI was notified about four new EHV-1 positives – this time in horses in Denmark that have returned to their home stables from Valencia. Two of the horses are showing neurological symptoms. The horses are in full isolation.

The FEI is also following up on a reported EHV-1 positive in a horse that was tested at its home stables in Scotland after returning from Vilamoura, Portugal. Neither the positive horse nor any of its stable companions that had travelled back from Portugal are showing any clinical signs and have been isolated since their return.

The FEI also informed that it has now been confirmed that the virus strain in the horse that tested positive after returning back from Gorla Minore in Italy is not linked to the Valencia outbreak. 

Furthermore, the FEI informed that the last of the German horses have now left the Valencia venue. Other horses from Hong Kong and China have also departured.
