RIDOH says a person in their 60s from Providence County has tested positive for West Nile Virus and the CDC will conduct additional testing for confirmation.
This is the first probable human case of the virus this year.
State health officials say none of the mosquito samples collected on September 15th have tested positive for West Nile,
Eastern Equine Encephalitis or Jamestown Canyon Virus.
