Rabies Alert in Two Counties | Albany News

Rabies is on the move in the Capital Region—two counties are sounding the alarm after multiple animal cases and human exposures. Washington County reports three new cases: raccoons and a bat in Hebron, Salem, and Putnam, urging residents to watch for sick wildlife and vaccinate pets. In Warren County, a beaver bit two people near Turtle Island; a dead beaver later tested positive, raising fears of spread. As a result, Lake George has a water advisory for that area until at least July 14th. Health officials remind everyone: avoid contact with wild animals, keep pets leashed and up to date on shots, and report anything unusual—your safety and your pets’ depend on it.
