Communication from the Department of Public Health submitting its Arbovirus weekly report for the week of July 7, 2025

This is not a legislative bill but a routine communication from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) submitting its weekly arbovirus report for July 7, 2025. The report details current surveillance data on West Nile virus (WNV) and eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), including four WNV-positive mosquito samples in Barnstable, Middlesex, Suffolk, and Worcester Counties. It provides public health recommendations (e.g., using EPA-registered repellents, removing standing water) and risk-level maps to help residents protect against mosquito-borne diseases. The communication serves to inform the public and officials about ongoing surveillance efforts, not to enact policy changes.
