The California Department of Public Health has counted 63 cases of the West Nile virus among the six fatalities this year, prompting urgent public health warnings.
In Los Angeles County, four people caught dengue in August and September without traveling outside of the country, marking the first documented cases in Southern California.
Tomás Aragón emphasized that mosquitoes remain active even in cooler months, urging Californians to protect themselves with repellents and manage standing water.
To prevent mosquito bites, the CDPH advises using EPA-registered repellents, wearing protective clothing, controlling yard conditions, and ensuring proper screen fittings.
