Washoe County is confirming, seven more mosquito collections have tested positive for West Nile Virus. This brings the total of positive collections tested in Washoe County to eight, stretching from the Spanish Springs area to Washoe Lake. The report of more positive WNV collections comes the day after the Washoe County Commission approved an additional $534,835 from the General Fund Contingency to cover mosquito spraying expenses related to flooded areas in Washoe County. No human cases have yet been reported, but the Washoe County Health District urges people to take appropriate steps to prevent being bitten and avoid contracting WNV.
