The Health Ministry is urging anyone who may have come into contact with the infected puppy, or any stray animals in the vicinity, to take immediate action.

If you or your pets were in the area during this period and may have interacted with an animal, it's crucial to seek guidance.
To ensure your safety and well-being, the Ministry advises contacting the Petah Tikva District Health Office at 03-9051818, or your local health office. They will assess your situation and determine if preventative treatment is necessary. This is not something to take lightly.
