Casos de gripe equina provocan medidas especiales en Royal Ascot

El aumento de casos de gripe equina ha llevado a las autoridades hípicas británicas a imponer nuevas restricciones en los hipódromos y medidas de bioseguridad especiales para la procesión real en Ascot. Las medidas entran en vigor a partir del miércoles y afectan a varios eventos, incluyendo las carreras de obstáculos para cazadores.

La Autoridad Hípica Británica anunció que, a partir del 20 de mayo, solo se permitirá la entrada a los hipódromos en los días de carreras a los caballos procedentes de centros de entrenamiento autorizados. Esta medida tiene como objetivo reducir el contacto entre caballos de carreras purasangre y caballos de instalaciones sin licencia donde los detalles sanitarios son menos precisos.
