Eight more cases of West Nile Virus were reported in the past week in Kern County, the California Department of Public Health said Tuesday. This brings the total cases here this year to 115.
The statewide number is 245, according to the department's Web site
Last week, seven new cases of West Nile virus were reported in Kern.
We're "still in the single digit numbers," said Daniele Kim, spokesman for the Kern County Department of Public Health. "I think what we're seeing is a downward trend overall."
Earlier this year, the number of new cases being reported here was in the double digits.
If you're going to the Kern County Fair, you may want to stop by the department's booth in commercial building three. The department will be giving away mosquito repellent wipes.
Aging & Adult Services will also have free samples at its booth.
