New York City begins spraying for West Nile virus. Map shows where and when.
Briefly

Dr. Sally Slavinski emphasized the importance of mosquito control, stating, 'We use the surveillance system with the adult mosquitos to help us identify where we're seeing activity and so we can use the adulticiding as the means for controlling the adult mosquitos when we do find activity there.' This highlights the city's proactive measures against the spread of diseases such as West Nile virus.
In response to the increased mosquito activity, Dr. Slavinski reassured residents, saying, 'This is a pesticide that we've been using for years. We know it's very safe, but we do recommend folks go indoors during the spray event for an added precaution.' This reflects the city's commitment to public health safety.
