In Canada, on June 30, a child died after contact with a bat. The boy woke up at night because the mouse was interfering with his breathing, brushed the animal off his face, and his father caught and released him into the street. The parents did not notice the bite marks and did not seek help. After 19 days, the boy began to have facial numbness and vomiting, the doctors did not immediately diagnose, as the family denied contact with the animal. The infection affected the nervous system, and the child could not be saved.
