Aerial spraying against mosquitoes was completed in Wareham last evening.

State public health officials, working in conjunction with several other agencies and local public health partners, made the decision to conduct spraying following continued positive tests for eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) in mosquito samples from that part of the state, and have characterized the risk of EEE infection as a serious public health concern at this time.

There will be no further spraying in Wareham at this time.
