E Cape’s Elundini residents urged to be on high alert for rabies

Friday, November 8, 2024

The Eastern Cape Department of Rural Development and Agrarian Reform (DRDAR) is urging anyone who may have been bitten by a donkey suspected of being infected with rabies in Nqanqarhu, Elundini Local Municipality, to get post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for rabies.

This is after a donkey exhibiting signs of rabies, including aggression and unusual behaviour, was reported to have bitten several individuals, including a child, on Wednesday.
