The Department of Disease Control (DDC) has confirmed 54 cases of rabies-infected animals from 835 tested samples, with the highest infection rates found in dogs, followed by cattle, buffalo, and cats. To contain the outbreak, the Department of Livestock Development (DLD) has declared temporary epidemic zones under the Animal Epidemic Act, subjecting these areas to disease control measures for 30 days to prevent further spread.
Health authorities have advised people to avoid contact with stray animals and take precautions when handling pets. If bitten or scratched by an animal suspected of carrying rabies, individuals should immediately clean the wound with soap and running water for 10–15 minutes, apply antiseptic, monitor the animal for signs of infection, and seek medical attention for post-exposure vaccination.
The government is also urging pet owners to vaccinate their dogs and cats yearly to maintain high immunity levels and prevent rabies transmission. Officials warn against handling or consuming products from potentially infected animals and stress the importance of responsible pet ownership in controlling outbreaks.
Authorities stated that they will continue to monitor the situation closely, requesting public cooperation and timely medical intervention to prevent further cases.
