We were asked not to forward this information just yet while the State vet visits the area and decides on the best plan of action,\u201d read the notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-state-vet\">State vet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Levy further shared that state vets confirmed the rabies diagnosis on Tuesday 28 May. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe State vet is busy assessing the whole situation and deciding whether to set up emergency vaccine clinics,\u201d wrote Levy. \u201cWe will keep you informed as soon as we know what measures are being taken.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Levy urged residents not to panic as the rabies incident may be an isolated case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_bb183015\">\n<div class=\"text\">\u201cIf your pets\u2019 rabies vaccinations are up to date, your pets should not be able to contract rabies.

Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent the spread of rabies and protect both your pets and your family and is required by law.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid stray animals: Avoid contact with stray or wild animals and do not approach or attempt to handle any animal showing signs of aggression or illness.<\/li>\n<li>Report suspected cases: If you suspect any animal in the community may be infected with rabies, please report it to your local state veterinarian immediately.<\/li>\n<li>If you have been bitten or scratched by an animal that you think may have rabies, seek medical attention immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Rabies is highly preventable through vaccination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rabies is a zoonotic disease, meaning humans can get the disease from animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In South Africa, rabies is an endemic disease and its common carriers include honey badgers, bat-eared foxes, jackals, meerkats and mongooses as well as feral and domestic cats and dogs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The virus is transmitted through contact in saliva from close contact with an infected animal such as bites, scratches or even licks on broken skin and mucous membranes which can transmit the virus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rabies vaccination of domestic dogs and cats is mandatory by law in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Custom\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_450cd82d\">\n<div class=\"custom\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p dir=\"ltr\"
