Whenever rabies is known to have become endemic or epidemic within a given area, the Health Officer may establish a quarantine area and specify the animals subject to quarantine. All such animals within the quarantine area, including dogs, shall be kept in strict confinement upon the premises of the owner; provided, however, with the written consent of the Health Officer, such animals may be moved under such conditions and restrictions as the Health Officer may impose. The Health Officer is empowered to impose such other restrictions as he or she may deem necessary.
