Black mark on the map of the suburbs: in Klin rabies fell raccoon dog

In the village of Sokhino, in the urban district of Klin, an epizootic focus of rabies was revealed. Point on the map is house number 22. It was there, according to veterinary services, recorded a deadly virus.

On the territory of the house found the corpse of a raccoon dog. Laboratory tests confirmed a terrible diagnosis: the animal was infected with rabies.

The “risk zone” included not only the village of Sokhino, but also a whole scattering of neighboring settlements. The official list of disadvantaged territories includes the villages of Akulovo, Borozda, Belozerki, Nikitskoe, Strelovo, Frolovskoye, the village of Demyanovo, the Brick Plant, the village of Gorki. The whole area is declared a territory with special rules. And they're pretty strict. Owners of four-legged friends will have a hard time.

Quarantine is a set of measures designed to stop the spread of the virus.

What exactly can not be done in the designated settlements?

1. Let outsiders go. The territory of the hearth is closed to all, except employees serving animals, veterinarians and local residents themselves.

2. Import and export of pets, their movement and rearrangement are prohibited. The exception is only for those vaccinated (not later than 179 days before export) and sent for slaughter.

3. Hunting and butchering. Skinning corpses and hunting susceptible animals is strictly prohibited. The exception is the regulation of numbers.

Mass events. Fairs, exhibitions and any other gathering of animals are canceled.

In fact, the entire area is in strict biological isolation for the near future. For the layman, this means one thing: vigilance above all else. Veterinarians remind that rabies is not treated, but it can be prevented.

Owners of dogs and cats: urgently check vaccinations. If your pet is not vaccinated, do so immediately (except for those in the hearth area - there are special regulations).

Residents: Avoid contact with wild animals. Foxes, hedgehogs and even rodents coming out to people are the first sign of trouble. Do not feed them or try to pet them.

Parents: Explain to children that you can not pet unfamiliar dogs and cats, especially in the quarantine area.

The Moscow region is a region where rabies, alas, is not uncommon. Cases are recorded every year. But each quarantine is a reminder that nature does not forgive carelessness. The situation in Klina is under the control of specialized services.
