               When reports indicate a positive diagnosis of rabies, the county director of public
               health may order an area-wide quarantine for such period as he deems necessary. Upon
               invoking of such emergency quarantine, no dog, cat or other carnivores shall be taken
               into the streets or permitted to be in the streets during such period. During such
               quarantine, no dog or cat or other carnivore may be taken or shipped from the county
               without written permission of the animal control program, and the police and sheriff's
               departments are hereby directed during such emergency, to impound any dog, cat or
               other carnivore found running at large in the county. During the quarantine period,
               the animal control program or local health authorities 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
               county director of public health.
