After seeing an increasing number of suspected leptospirosis cases in dogs, Sunny Heights Day Care Centre has been slapped with an isolation order. According to the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority, the Ministry of Health and the National Environment Agency, this spike was reported by vets since late last year.
Zero animal cases were surfaced in 2014, followed by two in the later months of 2015, and 18 so far this year, said The Straits Times.
This isolation order issued by AVA means that no dog can enter or leave the Turf Club Road space without AVA's authorisation, and a complete cleaning and disinfection of the premises is mandatory.
