Warm winter, rainfall raise West Nile virus concerns
A mild winter and long spells of rain have raised fears of a reappearance of West Nile virus, which claimed 35 lives last summer.
Georgios Konstantos, a public health expert at the Attica Regional Authority in charge of spraying, told Kathimerini that his department started spraying in early April in order to curb mosquito numbers ahead of the summer.
