               When reports indicate a positive diagnosis of rabies to the extent that lives of persons
               are endangered, the health director may declare an area-wide quarantine for such period
               as 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,
               during such quarantine, the health director, law enforcement officers, animal control
               officer or persons duly authorized by the health director may seize and impound any
               dog or cat found running at large in the county. 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.

               In the event there are additional positive cases of rabies occurring during the period
               of quarantine, such period of quarantine may be extended at the discretion of the
               health director.
