Authorities placed two towns in Marinduque under a state of calamity due to their high number of rabies cases.
These are Boac and Buenavista, according to Provincial Veterinarian Dr. Josue Victoria.Victoria said there were two human deaths and 89 reported rabies cases in dogs in several towns.Of the 89 reported cases in dogs, 42 have been confirmed in laboratory tests.“May outbreak na sa Boac. High risk na rin 'yung other municipalities tulad ng Buenavista, ng Gasan, at saka Mogpog,” Victoria told reporters in a phone interview.“Nag-start 'yung outbreak sa Boac, 'yung capital town.
Kaya ang bottom line pa rin dito is sa stray dogs, puwedeng magkaroon ng incursion doon sa aming wildlife sanctuary at mag-inflict ng damage sa aming mga wildlife,” Victoria said.When asked how rabies cases increased in Marinduque, Victoria explained, “During pandemic, nagkaroon ng kakulangan sa pagkain. Pinawalan ang mga aso, hindi na maalagaan at nag-lockdown. After ng pandemic, biglang dumami 'yung population ng aso sa amin.
