| Curfews change for EEE |
| By Susanna Sheehan |

The town-wide curfew on outside activities due to the threat of mosquito-borne illnesses such as EEE is tightening as the days get shorter. The curfew had been set at 6:45 p.m. On Sunday, the curfew changed to 6:15 p.m. On Sunday, Oct. 7, the curfew will be even earlier – at 6 p.m. On Sunday, Oct. 21, it starts at 5:30 p.m. The curfew will be in effect until the first hard frost kills the mosquitoes. A hard frost is defined as three hours under 28 degrees. Monday, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health announced that a seven-year old Marshfield boy had been diagnosed with Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE). This infection marks the seventh human case of EEE in a Massachusetts resident. In Marshfield the EEE threat level has been raised to “critical.” Earlier in the summer, a 68-year-old man in Marshfield came down with the illness. The current EEE risk level in Duxbury is set at “high.” There are seven confirmed human cases of EEE in Massachusetts residents so far this year, two of which have resulted in death. In addition to EEE, mosquitoes carry West Nile virus. Two additional cases of West Nile virus have been confirmed in the state recently, bringing that total to 19 human cases, one of which has resulted in death. |
