🚨 RI mosquito report: Mosquitoes collected on July 27 in Tiverton tested positive for Jamestown Canyon Virus (JVC). Mosquitoes collected in Cranston, East Providence, North Providence, Providence, and Woonsocket tested positive for West Nile Virus (WNV). The current risk level for WNV is high statewide. No signs of EEE were detected.

🦟 WNV is the most common mosquito-borne illness in the U.S. Most people don’t get sick, but about 1 in 5 may develop fever and other symptoms. There is no vaccine or specific treatment.

✅ Protect yourself from mosquito bites:

• Use EPA-approved insect repellent
• Wear long sleeves and long pants
• Eliminate standing water around your home
