    Triple-E virus found in more birds, pools
    CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — State health officials announced new evidence
    Monday of the spread of a dangerous virus and again urged people to
    take steps to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.
    The state public health laboratory found the mosquito-borne Eastern
    equine encephalitis virus, known as Triple E, in four more birds, a
    horse and two pools of water, officials said.
    “We are continuing to identify Triple E in new communities across
    the state,” health Commissioner John Stephen said in a statement. He
    recommended that all residents take precautions, even in communities
    where the virus has not been found.
    Stephen wants people to use repellants, wear long sleeves and pants
    outside, and drain standing water near homes.
