Don’t take dogs out of rabies-gazetted areas, public warned

THE public is advised not to bring home dogs from Taiping and Bukit Gantang during the Chinese New Year holidays, to prevent rabies from spreading.

Perak Veterinary Services Department (JPV) director Dr Ahmad Shafri Hassan said the Larut Matang and Selama district were gazetted as rabies-infected areas on Jan 14, and until today, the order had not been lifted.
