4. STOP THE SPREAD OF WEST NILE VIRUS

Last week, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reported the season’s first death from West Nile Virus (WNV). The deceased was a resident of the San Fernando Valley.

Each year, hundreds of people in Los Angeles County are diagnosed with this infection, carried from birds to humans by mosquito bite. Most mosquitoes do not carry the virus, but the bite of an infected mosquito can cause fever, rash, muscle aches, and fatigue. In severe cases it can lead to paralysis or even death. While everyone is at risk for WNV, people over 50 and those with pre-existing health problems are at greater risk.

We can all do our part to stop the spread of WNV by eliminating the stagnant water where mosquitoes lay their eggs. A single teaspoon of standing water can breed hundreds of mosquitoes. Please protect yourself, your family and your neighbors by taking the following steps.

Remove standing water from clogged rain gutters, rain barrels, discarded tires, buckets, watering cans, the saucers under flower pots, or anything that holds water for more than a week.
Change the water in pet dishes, birdbaths, and other small containers weekly.
If you have an ornamental pond, stock it with insect-eating mosquitofish. You can get them for free from your local vector control district.
Make sure that swimming pools, spas, and ponds are properly maintained.
Wear EPA-recommended insect repellent when outdoors where mosquitoes may be present.

If you see a neglected (green) swimming pools or any accumulation of standing water too big for you to remove, call the Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District at 562-944-9656 or online at www.glacvcd.org.

2. COVID-19 ON THE RISE – TAKE PRECAUTIONS

After a relatively calm summer, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) is reporting a rise in measures of COVID-19 transmission for the fifth consecutive week.

The increase in COVID-19 circulation is likely the combined result of multiple factors, including summer travel, return to school, and the emergence of new COVID-19 variant strains.

To help mitigate the spread, Public Health is recommending that people who are at higher risk should consider common-sense precautions to protect against COVID infection. These protections include wearing a well-fitting high filtration mask when in poorly ventilated and/or crowded indoor spaces and on public transit, testing when symptomatic and/or after a known COVID-19 exposure, remaining home when sick, and seeking therapeutics if infected.

3. L.A. COUNTY OCEAN WATER UPDATE
