Maha Sarakham has declared a rabies control zone in Tambon Na Kha after a cow tested positive. Animal movement is restricted until 29 March. Officials are vaccinating pets and livestock to prevent further spread. The cow may have been bitten by a rabid stray dog.

Officials on Monday urged about 50 residents of a Nakhon Ratchasima village to get rabies shots quickly after the beef they ate turned out to have come from a rabid cow.
