There are two other premises that will be quarantined due to recent movement of horses from the index property to other equine facilities. 

Temperatures will be taken twice daily and strict equine biosecurity is in place. 

If an owner has a horse exhibiting neurological signs or suspects a horse of having equine herpesvirus, he or she is directed to call a veterinarian immediately.
