The fox was found on Concord Street on Wednesday. Any person who was bitten or scratched by the fox or was exposed to the fox’s saliva is at high risk for rabies and should call the Massachusetts Department of Public Health at 617-983-6800 (available 24 hours) or a health care provider for a risk assessment.
