The US authorities were forced to quarantine four cities — Douglas, Oxford, Sutton and Webster — due to an outbreak of oriental equine encephalitis, a deadly disease for which there is no cure. This viral infection is transmitted through mosquito bites and leads to inflammation of the brain, and the death rate among those affected reaches 30%. In this regard, a curfew has been imposed in these cities, although it is not yet enforced. Authorities strongly recommend residents to be careful, avoid going outside in the evening and use mosquito bite protection. The situation remains tense, and health authorities continue to monitor the development of the epidemic in order to take additional measures to protect the population.
