In a recent government meeting, officials emphasized ongoing efforts to combat mosquito-borne diseases across the Commonwealth. While aerial spraying will not occur in the immediate area, it will be implemented in other regions where samples of bridal mosquitoes, West Nile virus, and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) have been detected.

Officials are actively disseminating information to raise public awareness about the presence of these mosquitoes and the potential health risks they pose. Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and take precautions during outdoor activities to minimize exposure to mosquito bites. The proactive messaging aims to ensure community safety as the season progresses.
