               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
               or county sheriff. During such quarantine, the health director, the county sheriff,
               and/or persons duly authorized by the health director and/or county sheriff, may seize
               and impound any dog or cat found running at large in the county. During the quarantine
               period the health director in coordination with the county sheriff 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.
