A
beef calf on a farm north of Listowel has rabies.
The
Perth County health unit has issued some quarantine restrictions on the farm to
keep human contacts with the herd to a minimum.
It’s
the fourth case in Perth County since 2015. The others were a dairy cow, a calf
and a skunk.
The ministry is not naming
the farm or releasing its address, but the local health unit says it is located
in Wallace Ward, just north of Listowel, Ont.
The health unit has been
working with the farmer to track down anyone who had contact with the affected
calf, in order to recommend vaccination.
