Narong also released a photo of the infected dog and urged those who had been licked, scratched or bitten by the dog urgently seek medical advice and request the rabies vaccine as an important precaution. Narong said animals and pets in the village could not be moved without permission.
Two dogs in the district have already tested positive for rabies in early March.
