🦟 West Nile Virus: Protect Yourself as Summer Winds Down

Late summer and early fall are peak times for West Nile virus in Minnesota. As of August 27, the Minnesota Department of Health reported 20 cases and 2 deaths linked to the virus statewide.

West Nile virus spreads through mosquito bites. While most people don’t get sick, about 1 in 5 may develop flu-like symptoms, and in rare cases the illness can become severe.

Protect yourself:
• Use insect repellent when outdoors
• Avoid being outside at dawn and dusk
• Wear long sleeves and pants
• Remove standing water around your home

🔹 Follow the Ted Foss Move Over Law: give space or slow down for stopped vehicles with flashing lights
🔹 Stay calm at intersections, near emergency scenes, and when passing roadside incidents

A few seconds of caution can prevent tragedy and protect the lives of first responders and our community.
