Colo. Declares W. Nile Emergency

[dArKeR]

Two Colorado counties declared public health emergencies and the state has requested federal money for mosquito spraying as the peak of West Nile season approaches.

Colorado leads the nation with 392 human West Nile cases and seven deaths.

Officials from the two counties — Larimer and Weld, both in northern Colorado — said Monday's emergency declarations were designed to alert the public to the seriousness of the threat and to encourage local governments to step up mosquito-prevention programs. Each county has had two deaths from the disease.
