Protect Yourself From The West Nile Virus This Summer

It’s mosquito season and Moultrie County Health Department Public Health Administrator Glenda Plunkett is warning Moultrie County residents to protect themselves from mosquitos because of the West Nile Virus.    

 

 

Plunkett urges everyone to use what it takes to keep mosquitos off of you when you go outside.

 

 

The Moultrie County Health Department is tracking cases of West Nile Virus by testing dead birds and by talking with physicians on a regular basis.

 

 

If you are a Moultrie County resident and find a dead bird in your yard that wasn’t obviously killed by an animal, please reach out to the Moultrie County Health Department.

 

Plunkett also discussed the importance of wearing a mask when in public to protect those you love from COVID-19.
