GOSHEN – A mosquito pool carrying
the West Nile virus has been found in the Village of Greenwood Lake.

“The discovery of West Nile in the mosquito population is a reminder
that this virus is still present and a risk,” said Orange County
Health Commissioner Dr. Eli Avila. “Residents should wear appropriate
clothing and consider sprays when outdoors and check their property for
any pooling or stagnant water.”

Mosquitoes can breed in any stagnant water that lasts more than four days.
