Denton County Public Health will take action by fogging areas where the virus was detected. Fogging is scheduled to occur between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.

Residents are advised to take precautions to minimize the risk of contracting West Nile Virus, including draining standing water in their yards and neighborhoods to prevent mosquito breeding.
