Heavy wet-season rainfall increases mosquito-borne virus activities in the region - warns WA Health Department
The Department of Health is warning residents and travellers in the Kimberley region to take precautions to avoid mosquito bites, following heavy rainfall, flooding and the first evidence of Kunjin virus activity this season.
Since the beginning of January, large parts of the Kimberley have received above-average wet-season rainfall that has resulted in flooding and an increase in mosquito-borne virus activity.
