The Wilson and Dallas County horses have been euthanized. All exposed horses are being tested, and all premises will remain under quarantine until requirements for release have been met. 

The Kaufman County horses are currently being maintained on the quarantined premises and the premises will remain under quarantine until requirements for release have been met.
