To reduce the risk of rabies infection from contact with wild animals in mountainous or tourist areas, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine Administration of the Ministry of Agriculture has strengthened the following public awareness campaigns:
(i) Do not touch or approach wild animals, especially in mountainous areas or tourist areas in towns and cities where wild animals have tested positive for rabies.
(ii) If an animal is found to exhibit abnormal behavior, sudden agitation, or biting behavior, the local animal disease control authority should be notified as soon as possible.
(iii) It is recommended to wear long pants and high-top hiking boots and other personal protective equipment when engaging in activities in mountainous areas to reduce the risk of being bitten by animals.
