OXFORD - The Oxford Board of Health approved an outdoor curfew after the town reported its first human case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) this year.
Curfew could impact fall sports
The Board of Health met Wednesday evening to recommend ending outdoor activities before dusk to avoid peak mosquito hours, despite residents' protests.
"Being heard is our No. 1 goal," said Oxford Webster Football and Cheer Vice President Josh Ziemski, before the meeting.
"We don't want to see another human case of EEE this year," Public Health Director Rike Sterrett said. "One is already too many."
