They’re not here yet, but they will be!

West Nile Virus will soon be on its way.

Medical Health Officer, Dr. Mark Vooght, says the mosquito that carries the disease has started to show up, but it’s usually the second generation of Culex Tarsalis that carries the disease.

They are expected to show up in about two weeks.

With that in mind, Dr. Vooght is reminding everyone to use precautionary measures from now on when outside, like applying bug spray and wearing long sleeve shirts and long pants.
