LANSING, MI (WTVB) – Aerial spraying to combat the deadly mosquito-borne virus Eastern Equine Encephalitis in Michigan that was scheduled to take place on Sunday evening was postponed due to bad weather.
Even though the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and a dozen health departments announced Friday they would be conducting aerial spraying in Branch, Calhoun, St. Joseph, and 11 other counties to combat the mosquito borne disease of Eastern Equine Encephalitis, the area of spraying was reduced on Sunday with Branch and Calhoun Counties being taken off the list.
The spraying had been scheduled to take place Sunday evening at 8:00 p.m..
Residents are having very mixed reactions.
The Governor’s Office and the state Department of Health and Human Services plan to update the public today on the issue.
