Cincinnati Health Department

Local health officials are asking the public to be extra careful about mosquito bites right now. The Cincinnati Health Department reports seven mosquito pools have tested positive for West Nile Virus, compared to just two each in the last two years

The department is hosting "Local Conversations" Saturday to hear peoples' concerns about minority health disparity issues and equity efforts.

The Cincinnati Board of Health voted to tap Dr. Grant Mussman for the leadership role. He's been interim health commissioner since Melba Moore resigned last January.

The CDC will confirm the diagnosis reported by two commercial labs.

"Here's what I would say: think about, is this a must, a have-to, or a desire?" says Cincinnati Health Commissioner Melba Moore.

"I realize that public officials right now are picking and choosing their battles, and this has become a big battle," said Grant Mussman, medical director for the Cincinnati Health Department. "But in terms of things that you can do that are effective, there's not a lot that's a lot better than masking."

Cincinnati Health Commissioner Melba Moore says only one case has been seen in Cincinnati. She urges the community to continue wearing masks, get vaccinated and get tested.
