Health officials have identified a case of West Nile virus. This is the first reported instance this year. To minimize the risk of infection, residents are advised to use protective measures.

These include using repellents and covering skin. Mosquitoes are most active during certain times of day, so outdoor activities should be limited then. Further guidance is available on preventing mosquito bites and reporting suspicious activity.

Precautions such as eliminating standing water and using air conditioning can help keep mosquitoes out of living areas.
