Stray and wild animals, including dead animals, should not be approached. Animals that are seen in nature and do not look healthy should never be touched. Since rodents are an important way of transmission of the disease, if there are areas where animals such as mice are detected, these should be cleaned and disinfected in detail. If there are foodstuffs stored in such areas, they should also be destroyed.
