The red alert status has been canceled for Chonburi as the province’s rabies epidemic eases.
The Department of Livestock Development said Dec. 11 that Chonburi has been downgraded to a “yellow zone” for rabies infections.
Department staffer Phot Sitnanukrit said there were no recent reports of rabies after a massive effort to vaccinate animals and educate the public.
However, he said, more inspections in outlying areas need to be done.
Phot said it will take 1-2 years for rabies to return to normal levels in the province.
