_______________________________________________________________________________________
Wenham’s risk for EEE has increased to Moderate, due to an individual contracting the disease in Ipswich/Topsfield. In Wenham, residents are advised to avoid unnecessary outdoor activity during peak mosquito activity (dusk to dawn), to use EPA approved insect repellents and wear long sleeves/pants if outdoors with mosquito activity. Hamilton Board of Health has provided the same information.
If Wenham Risk level for EEE would be increased any further, then we would recommend (or possibly require) that organized outdoor events be rescheduled so not to occur during peak mosquito activity.
