                    Rabies: Don't discard rubbish, food waste indiscriminately

                    Deputy Health Minister Dr Lee Boon Chye (centre) speaks during the Rabies Awarness Programme in Wisma Persekutuan, Taiping. - NSTP/ABDULLAH YUSOF
                    By Bernama - January 30, 2019 @ 7:57pm

                    ?Although there are no cases of people infected with rabies (in Perak), we have so far had four cases of dogs with rabies being put to sleep here.
                    ...
                    Veterinary Services Department director-general Datuk Dr Quaza Nizamuddin Hassan Nizam recently issued a statement declaring Mukim Taiping and Bukit Gantang as rabies-infected areas.

                    Dr Quaza said this was following a complaint by a dog owner that two of his family members were bitten by their pet in Taman Sri Kota Phase 2, Taiping on Dec 31 and brain cell samples from the dog tested positive for rabies.
                    ...
                    Speaking of the two, who were bitten by their pet dogs, he said the duo, aged 26 and 51, were in good health after completing four doses of anti-rabies vaccine as well as rabies immunoglobulin (RIG) injections and still under the care of specialists at the Taiping Hospital.
                    ...

                    TAIPING: The Health Ministry has asked residents in the Larut Matang Selama district not to discard rubbish and food waste in unauthorised areas.

                                Young man in Sarawak's capital dies from rabies, the 17th death since outbreak last year

                                The victim was infected after being scratched by a dog whose vaccination status was unclear.

                                "The ministry wishes to remind the public, especially those in Sarawak, to avoid taking or picking up dogs or other animals where the animals' status of rabies vaccination is unknown, even if it is found within the neighbourhood," he said in a statement on Saturday (June 1).

                                He said the animals could have been infected with the rabies virus, but would not show any symptoms during the incubation period...
