A boy, aged 12 years, has died of rabies following a dog-bite in the second such death at Yatalamatta in Galle within a week.
The grade seven student of Sirisunanda Vidyalaya in Mapalagama breathed his last at the Karapatiya Teaching Hospital yesterday (29).
Three days earlier, a man died at the same hospital after being bitten by a dog.
Health authorities have now dispatched three teams to the area to vaccinate dogs against rabies.
