WEST MONROE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Two mosquito pools in Oswego County tested positive for Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEE), and one of those pools also tested positive for West Nile Virus, the Oswego County Health Department announced on Thursday, Oct. 3.

The samples were taken from pools in the town of West Monroe.

New York recently had its first human death from EEE since 2015 back in late September.

The health department advises people to limit outdoor activity between dawn and dusk and to wear long sleeves, pants and socks in order to limit exposure to mosquitoes.
