A citywide quarantine may be invoked for a period of 30 days by the LRCA after an investigation if it determines that there exists an immediate threat of rabies. In the event of a known outbreak of rabies, state law provisions will supersede this section.
(1) Animals in public restricted. During the period of citywide quarantine, it shall be unlawful for any person to allow any animal to be taken, whether restrained or not, to the streets or any other public place, except to a licensed veterinarian or veterinary hospital for necessary medical treatment.
(2) Conditions warranting an extension of time. If there are additional positive cases of rabies occurring during the 30-day period of the citywide quarantine, such period of quarantine may be extended for an additional reasonable period of time.
