Health Advisory: Mosquito Prevention Measures for Rhode Island Residents

The Rhode Island Department of Health advises residents to take measures against mosquito-borne diseases like West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis.
Recommended actions include using window and door screens, limiting outdoor activities at dawn and dusk, using bug spray with DEET, and eliminating standing water around the home.
These steps can help protect against mosquito bites and reduce the risk of illness.
