Two of the victims were children aged three and 11," he said in a statement."The highest number of rabies victims were those aged above 31, with eight infections. The oldest was 64 years old," said Wong. Of the total number of deaths, he said 12 of them were due to being bitten by dogs which had not been vaccinated with anti-rabies vaccine.

"One death was by a vaccinated dog, which was kept as a pet but left to roam outside the owner's house," he said. Of the 13 deaths, he said all of the victims did not receive proper treatment after being bitten by the dogs.

No better picture ? Already dogs are mostly not well treated … pathetic !!!

Rabie, monkeypox. I mean during COVID-19, nobody mentioned other diseases or illnesses.
