Eighth WNV case confirmed in city, spraying to take place Sunday

Published: Thursday, September 6, 2012 3:45 PM CDT
Another Frisco resident has tested positive for West Nile, the city announced today, marking the eighth case confirmed in the city. The case was confirmed by Collin County health authorities.


Because of the new case, Frisco will spray the general where the resident lives beginning at 10 p.m. Sept 9. Frisco's West Nile virus response plan calls for ground spraying to take place in the general area surrounding a resident's home after he or she tests positive for the virus.

Ground spraying will take place in an area bordered by Main Street, Starboard Street, Rolater Road and Maiden Lane from Sunday night until Monday morning. Spraying is expected to last until 6 a.m. Sept. 10. A map of this area can be seen here.

City of Frisco officials urge residents to practice four precautionary steps outlined by Texas Department of State Health Services commonly referred to as the "Four D's." These precautionary steps are: drain all standing water, dress in long sleeve clothing when outdoors, use mosquito repellants containing DEET, and avoid outdoor activities during night and early morning hours when mosquitoes are most active.
