Grand Erie Public Health Investigating After Rabies-Positive Bat Found At Brantford Daycare

Grand Erie Public Health (GEPH) is investigating after a rabies-positive bat was found at a daycare in Brantford.

Parents and caregivers at Creative Minds Daycare were given notice and provided with information about post-exposure precautions.

GEPH says all individuals who had direct contact with the bat have been identified and contacted by public health.

They have been advised to receive post-exposure prophylaxis to prevent infection.

Out of an abundance of caution, Creative Minds Daycare will remain closed until GEPH has fully inspected the facility and confirmed no other bats are present.
