A. When a laboratory report, either preliminary or final, gives a positive diagnosis of rabies, the animal control officer shall declare a city-wide quarantine for a period of ninety days and, upon the invoking of such quarantine, no animal shall be permitted to be at large except on a leash and accompanied by a responsible person during such period of quarantine.

B. During such quarantine no animal may be taken or shipped from the city without written permission from a local licensed veterinarian.

C. During this quarantine period, and as long afterward as he decides it is necessary to prevent the spread of rabies, the animal control officer shall require all dogs and cats three months of age and older to be vaccinated against rabies. All vaccinated animals shall be restricted (leashing or confinement on enclosed premises) for thirty days after vaccination.

D. During the quarantine period, the animal control officer shall be empowered to provide for a program of mass immunization by the establishment of temporary emergency rabies vaccination clinics strategically located throughout the area of health jurisdiction.
