🦇 Public Advisory – Rabies Confirmed in a Bat in Newfoundland and Labrador 🦇

Miawpukek First Nation would like to advise community members that rabies has been confirmed in a bat in Newfoundland and Labrador.

We encourage everyone to take the following precautions to help keep yourselves, your families, and your pets safe:

⚠️ Do not touch bats, whether they are alive or dead.

⚠️ Keep children and pets away from bats.

⚠️ If you or your pet has been bitten, scratched, or had direct contact with a bat, seek medical or veterinary attention immediately.

Bats are an important part of our natural environment and help control insect populations. However, they should always be admired from a safe distance and never handled.

If you notice a bat that appears sick, injured, unable to fly, or behaving unusually, please report it to Public Health for guidance. If there has been any contact with a person or pet, report it immediately.

🦇 If you see a bat, remember: Look, Don't Touch.

Thank you for helping keep our community safe while respecting the wildlife that shares our environment.

Attached is a Public Health Notice from Dr. Janice Fitzgrald, Chief Medical Officer of Health. ... See MoreSee Less
