Oxford, MA Imposes 6 p.m. Curfew Until October Amid EEE Outbreak
Aug 24, 2024, 09:10 PM
The town of Oxford, Massachusetts, has implemented a 6 p.m. curfew until October to combat the spread of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), a dangerous mosquito-borne disease. This decision follows the confirmation of the first human case of EEE in the state since 2020. The Oxford Board of Health recommended the curfew to protect residents from the virus, which has a high mortality rate. Several other towns in Massachusetts, including Douglas, Sutton, and Webster, have also advised residents to avoid outdoor activities at night and have implemented voluntary lockdowns. The measures aim to prevent further infections as the region faces heightened risks from the mosquito-borne virus.
