The FEI continues to follow up on the horse in Scotland that tested positive for EHV-1 after its return from Vilamoura (POR). All horses from the Scottish stable that were at the Portuguese venue returned negative tests on 5 March prior to their departure from Vilamoura. The focus now is on identifying the strain of the virus to establish whether or not it is linked to the Valencia outbreak.

The French National Federation confirmed to the FEI that the eight horses in two separate premises in France that have tested positive for EHV-1 had returned from Valencia (ESP).
