🚨MEWS FLASH:
Several towns in Massachusetts, such as Oxford, Douglas, Sutton, and Webster, have issued voluntary lockdowns or curfews after 6 p.m. due to an #EEE outbreak. This follows the first confirmed human case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis in Worcester County since 2020. EEE is a rare but deadly virus with a 30% fatality rate and no treatment available. Stay safe and avoid outdoor activities after dusk. #PublicHealth #Massachusetts #EEEOutbreak #HealthAlert #SafetyFirst
