Ohio’s KIRTLAND (WJW) – It has been confirmed by the Lake County General Health District that a bat discovered in the Kirtland region tested positive for the rabies virus. Health officials claim that 1 bat tested positive, which is not unusual. In fact, they claim that in 2017, 2018, and 2020 there was just one case of the rabies virus being detected in the local bat population in Lake County.
