State officials are urging residents in Massachusetts towns to take precautions due to an increased risk of the Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) virus, which can be transmitted by infected mosquitoes.
According to a Saturday press release from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, 10 communities in the state have been elevated to high or critical risk for EEE. In response, areas in Plymouth County will undergo aerial mosquito spraying, while parts of Worcester County will receive truck-mounted mosquito spraying.
