               <span class="ital">Quarantine ordered.</span> When reports indicate a positive diagnosis of rabies in an animal found within the
               county or any adjacent county, the health director may order an area-wide quarantine
               for such period as s/he deems necessary. Upon invoking of such emergency quarantine,
               no dog or cat may be taken or shipped from the county without written permission of
               the health director. All animal control and law enforcement officers are duly authorized
               in G.S. 130A-195 to seize, impound, or shoot any dog or cat found not under control
               in the county during an emergency quarantine. During the quarantine period, the health
               director shall be empowered to provide for a program of mass immunization by the establishment
               of temporary emergency rabies vaccination facilities strategically located throughout
               the county.

               of quarantine, such period of quarantine may be extended at the discretion of the
               health director.
