Mosquito results continue to come back negative.
In towns where WNV is first discovered in birds, the immediate risk to humans from mosquito bites is very low. Where infection rates in mosquitoes that pose a direct threat to people are shown to be increasing, we will consider whether spraying to control adult mosquitoes might be helpful to reduce the risk to people. In the meantime, the focus should continue to be on avoidance of mosquito bites and reduction of mosquito breeding habitat. All have tested negative. The state has discussed the test results with all the affected towns.
