The New York state veterinarian has provided the support for the quarantine. They have got the area sealed and nobody is permitted in the restricted area. They have also followed the biosecurity protocols.
On the march 18, one day old foal was admitted in the hospital. The foal died within two days. The doctors believed that he died due to pneumonia. When a test was performed on the dead foal the doctors found the presence of Equine Herpes-virus 1 infection.
The authorities have restricted the movement of cattle from equine barns and other Cornell facilities.
It has been confirmed by the experts that the equine herpes virus does not affect dogs, cats, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, or birds.
