Tasmanian Situation 12pm Sunday
Hello all,
Further test results from mainland labs have all returned negative results.
The negative test results, mild symptoms and absence of further cases provide sufficient confidence to lift the standstill order immediately.
However, gatherings of 10 horses or more off their own property will continue to be prohibited, apart from racing (subject to strict biosecurity conditions). Horses are still prohibited from entering Tasmania.
Investigations of horses showing mild symptoms are continuing and any new horses showing symptoms should be reported to the hotline: 1800 675 888.
