A San Bernardino County resident who tested positive for West Nile virus (WNV) has become the county's first WNV-associated death of 2023. The Office of Public Health said that the victim had underlying health problems.
In 2023, a there have been a total of seven WNV cases detected within the county, almost double total cases from last year, when four WNV cases and one death were confirmed. "Due to the increased rainfall this year, there has been a surge in mosquito activity this season. Furthermore, the rainfall from the recent tropical storm is likely to exacerbate WNV," said San Bernardino County Health Officer Michael A. Sequeira, M.D.
DRESS: Wear shoes, socks, long pants, and long-sleeved shirts that are loose fitting and light colored. DOORS: Make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens. Repair or replace screens that have tears or holes to prevent mosquitoes from entering the home.
