Officials reported that mosquitoes tested positive for West Nile virus in Weber County and at the Utah State Correctional Facility in Salt Lake City.
SALT LAKE CITY — Mosquitoes at the Utah State Correctional Facility tested positive for West Nile virus earlier this week, and several mosquito populations tested positive for the virus in Weber County, officials announced Friday.
"While this is considered routine detection and fairly common this time of year, our top priority is to protect both our staff and the incarcerated population from mosquito bites," Brian Redd, executive director of the Utah Department of Corrections, said in a news release Aug. 25. "We are committed to education and prevention, providing free and accessible repellent."
