Food Safety, Environmental Hygiene, Agriculture and Fisheries 185
While all competing horses had already been given a clean bill of health before arriving in Hong Kong, they were nevertheless kept in isolation in different places across Hong Kong before they were allowed onto the events ground.
The horses and their living environment were closely monitored by the AFCD and no infectious diseases were reported among the horses during their stay. All horses were safely returned to their places of origin after the competitions. The World Organisation of Animal Health commended Hong Kong for hosting successfully the Equestrian Events.
