West Nile Update

The Westwood Board of Health was notified today (8/11/2020) that mosquitoes found in Westwood have tested positive for West Nile Virus.

Our alert level for West Nile Virus remains MODERATE. Our alert level for Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) remains LOW.

As a reminder a risk level of moderate means residents should take extra precautions to protect themselves from mosquito bites.

As such the Massachusetts Dept. of Public Health has raised our alert level for West Nile Virus to Moderate.

A risk level of moderate means residents should take extra precautions to protect themselves from mosquito bites.

• Avoid mosquito bites by using an insect repellent with an EPA registered active ingredient such as DEET.
• When venturing outdoors wear long pants and long shirts whenever possible.

Please visit the District’s website at www.norfolkcountymosquito.org or call (781) 762-3681. If you have general questions about mosquitoes in our area or would like to report standing water, please call 781-320-1026.
