Dear fellow Hanoverians:
\n*The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) announced today
\nthat EEE virus has been detected in mosquitoes collected from Hanover,
\nMassachusetts. Hanover has had one EEE virus positive mosquito sample
\ntaken on September 6, 2012 and identified on September 11, 2012. *
\n*While the Hanover Board of Health continues to work closely with the
\nMDPH, the Board of Health on September 11, 2012 has closed all
\nrecreational fields and school property for outdoor activities from
\nsix (6) p.m. to seven (7) a.m. This will remain in effect until such
\ntime that Hanover experiences a \u201ckilling frost\u201d (temperatures at
\nor below 32 degrees).*
\nEEE is a rare but serious illness spread by the bite of an infected
\nmosquito. While EEE can infect people of all ages, people under 15
\nyears of age or over 50 years of age are at greatest risk for serious
\nillness.
\nPlease see the attached notice for further details or contact the
\nBoard of Health at health@hanover-ma.gov<\/p>\n
