Excerpt of “Essex Seen Facing “critical” EEE Threat”
State officials have raised the threat of the mosquito-borne illness Eastern equine encephalitis in the town of Essex from moderate to critical, skipping past high.
The change in threat level Tuesday came after an Essex horse was diagnosed with Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) last week and confirmed late Monday by state officials. The critical threat level signifies that multiple cases of EEE in people could be extremely likely at the time, according to the state Department of Health.
