Rockland County reported its first human case of West Nile virus for the 2022 season.

County health officials say the patient is a Ramapo resident over 50 years old.

A bite from a West Nile-infected mosquito can cause serious illness - or even death.

Symptoms include flu-like sickness, fever, headache, body aches and nausea.

If you think you have any symptoms, see your doctor.
