A positive finding would mean extending the Illinois Department of Agriculture’s quarantine for
another 28 days on some 1,900 horses at Hawthorne for the current meet, which runs through
Dec. 30. Horses haven’t been
allowed to travel to other states
because of the quarantine.

Racing board director of field operations Domenic DiCera said sanitizing measures were put into effect immediately, and movement of horses between barns was
restricted.

‘‘Hawthorne and the state veterinarians have done what they can to limit the spread, including even sanitizing the tires on tractors used to move dirt,’’ he said.

The virus can’t spread beyond 6 to 8 feet on its own, but officials suspect backstretch workers
moving among the animals might have contributed to spreading it.
