KUCHING: Two new rabies-infected areas were declared in Sarawak today, bringing the total number of such areas in the state to 69 since July 2017.
The Sarawak Veterinary Services Department (JPVS), in a statement, said that Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (JPBN) chairman and Deputy Chief Minister, Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas, declared Pedaan in Telang Usan, Miri and Pekan Tatau, Bintulu as the new areas with rabies outbreaks.
“This move is following a positive case of laboratory tests on two wild dogs caught during active surveillance in the area, (which) is outside the 10 km radius of the area that has been previously declared as one,” the statement said.
