The count rose to 30 confirmed cases, with Brooklyn leading at 11 cases. The city also recorded over 1,700 positive mosquito pool samples—a record—compared to 1,300 the previous year. Twenty-four cases are classified as neuroinvasive disease.
“With this increased rainfall and humidity, it makes it easier for mosquitoes to thrive, and then these longer, warmer seasons where we're having mosquitoes appear earlier and are active later in the year, there's more opportunity for transmission to occur.”
