Please read below for an important message about Hendra Virus from Belinda Walker, from the NSW DPI. Attached below is a document providing links to information on the virus (click to download).
Dear horse industry representative,
The NSW Department of Industry and Investment (Primary Industries) believes that it is important for people who come in contact with horses to be aware of the potential risks posed to them by Hendra virus. This will enable them to assess the risk that contact with horses poses to them, in their own situation.
The document attached provides a number of links to information on Hendra virus, that will help horse owners to make that risk assessment, and protect themselves as necessary. Industry & Investment NSW strongly recommends that you distribute this information to any horse owners, or people that may come in contact with horses, that are members of your organisation.
Thanks,
Belinda Walker
