According to a statement posted on the University of Minnesota (UM) Equine Center Facebook page, several horses involved in the neurologic equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) outbreak in Minnesota have responded to treatment and are in the process of recovering from the disease.

"Two of the three hospitalized horses receiving treatment for neurologic EHV-1 infection from board-certified internal medicine specialists at the University of Minnesota Large Animal Hospital have improved and returned home to their dedicated owner," the statement read. "The third horse has also made great strides, but is not yet ready to return home."

The statement also noted that no additional cases have been confirmed on the index premises or elsewhere in the state.

"As it can take three weeks for infected horses to stop shedding virus, strict biosecurity measures remain in force at the farm and the Large Animal Hospital, and we cannot yet rule out the possibility that new cases may occur," the statement read
