CARA POLICY on COVID-19
As you are no doubt aware, COVID-19 (a/k/a Coronavirus) has been officially declared by the World
Health Organization a global pandemic and, in addition, here in the U.S. the government has
declared a national emergency. Given the magnitude of this unprecedented situation, we at CARA
have adopted a policy to prevent the spread of this potentially deadly virus.
Effective immediately, anyone exhibiting signs of a respiratory illness (whether it’s COVID19 or not)
shall not visit CARA. Respiratory illness includes any of the following: cough, runny nose (non
allergy), fever, or shortness of breath.
Should you exhibit any of these symptoms, we expect you do the right thing and stay home until
resolution of symptoms (or the zombie apocalypse, which ever comes first). In the case of a fever, it
must be resolved without medication for 24 hours.
If you are returning from what the CDC calls a Level 2 or Level 3 country, you are expected to
observe a 14-day quarantine. Follow this link for additional information:

We recognize that this policy may not be convenient, but we have concluded that it is absolutely
necessary. Please adopt good hygiene etiquette by washing your hands, not touching your face, and
avoiding physical contact with others. Appropriate respiratory etiquette is important, too; i.e.,
sneeze or cough into your elbow or tissue, not your hand.
If you find you are ill, please contact Dorie. She will work with you to develop a plan to address your
horse’s care during your illness.
We’re counting on you to both understand this policy and to work together to keep us all safe and
healthy.
Thank you for your cooperation.
