The COVID-19 pandemic has created new challenges for many horse owners. The Equine Disease Communication Center (EDCC) has created a central source for accurate information to help horse owners keep their horses healthy during this pandemic. Users will be able to download and print fact sheets and educational materials that can be posted in barns and facilities. Visit this resource page on the EDCC website http://equinediseasecc.org/
While information about the COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly changing, the EDCC is receiving questions and concerns from owners about the safety of their horses. In order to help mitigate and protect horses from the spread of disease the EDCC Coronavirus resource page will be updated as necessary to reflect the current information.
Additionally the EDCC’s Coronavirus page features fact sheets to help owners explain the differences between equine coronavirus (ECoV) and COVID-19 as well as needed tools to stay up to date on the latest information.
The EDCC is fully operational during these trying times. They are here to support you.
What is the EDCC?
The Equine Disease Communication Center (EDCC) is an industry-driven initiative which works to protect horses and the horse industry from the threat of infectious diseases in North America. The communication system is designed to seek and report real time information about diseases similar to how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) alerts the human population about diseases in people.
