Hall County officials are warning the community about a rabid fox that was spotted in the area.
They say a woman was bitten by a fox last week on Jesse Jewell Parkway.
The fox was caught and sent off to the Georgia Public Health Lab in Decatur where it tested positive for rabies.
There is no word on the woman’s condition or what led up to her being bitten.
Officials encourage pet owners to get their animals vaccinated against rabies in case there are other animals with the disease in the area.
Anyone who sees an animal acting strange should call Hall County Animal Services at 770-531-6830.
