Regarding Rabies
Hi Sir/mam,
How much time do rabies virus live outside? Do it get infected like Corona Virus from touching the surfaces? Or only nail/dog bite causes it?
I have a pet dog in our house it interact with other stray dogs. Sometimes stray dogs also bite him.
Should I be careful from that because I feel that rabies virus can be on his wound/body. Can touching him will cause any problem??
Please guide me on this.
I continuously keep washing my hands with soap.

Rabies virus can not survive outside the dog or human being . So it can't spread by air or by touching an object (if you don't have any injury on skin).
You have to be careful if you have a dog at home. First thing is that the dog should be vaccinated against Rabies.
