The West Nile virus has reactivated alerts in Andalusia, with a 69-year-old man from Pizarra (Málaga) remaining in critical care after contracting the disease. This case comes just one month after the death of an 82-year-old man due to the West Nile virus was reported in Seville.
In Extremadura, two people have already died this summer from this disease, increasing concern in the affected regions. Health authorities warn that the situation is here to stay and recommend that the population protect themselves using repellents.
The West Nile virus is transmitted through mosquito bites and can cause serious complications, especially in elderly people or those with weakened immune systems. The authorities continue to monitor the situation in the affected areas.
