The Ministry of Health reports that a jackal that bit a person and a dog two days ago on Trumpeldor Street in Beit She'an has been diagnosed with rabies.
The ministry requests that anyone who may have been in contact with the animal or who has animals that may have come into contact with the infected animal or a stray in the area should urgently contact the nearest health office to consider preventive treatment. After working hours and during the weekend, they should go to a hospital emergency room. Parents of children are asked to clarify with their children whether they have been in contact with suspicious animals and to contact the Health Bureau urgently as needed. Pet owners are requested to contact their veterinarian to verify their immunization status.
