More relaxed EI restrictions for WA

The Department of Agriculture says it will further relax its regulations governing horse movements into Western Australia from next month.
An outbreak of equine influenza (EI) in Sydney last year halted the movement of horses nationwide.
Final testing in New South Wales and Queensland is due to be completed by the end of March to determine if the flu is still present.
The department's animal biosecurity director, Ashley Mercy, says from March 10, horses from non-infected states will be able to come into WA without being held in a six-day isolation period.
"The same will apply for horses coming from ... New South Wales and Queensland, what they call the white zones, and these are the zones where they've never had equine influenza, so it's virtually back to normal," he said.
