A Massachusetts town has ordered its parks to close from dusk to dawn due to a high risk of a fatal mosquito-borne disease being spread.
Plymouth, Massachusetts, began the protocol Friday after Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) was detected in a horse in the area. Sports teams and other organizations will not be able to gather in the parks after dusk, the town said.
Infected mosquitoes are usually found in eastern or Gulf coast states. The disease is spread through infected mosquitoes, and is rare, but has a fatality rate of about 30%. There is no treatment or vaccine available for EEE, according to the CDC.
