Doron recalls that the attending physician informed him that his relative’s case was not an isolated incident, as there had been about 6-7 similar cases recently, which was concerning. The Ministry of Environmental Protection released a statement last week, notifying the regional council about the presence of infected mosquitoes in the area. Despite being a strong and healthy retired naval fighter, he fell ill after being stung.
It was suggested that his relative might have been stung near their home, as he rarely left the house. The ministry emphasized the importance of local authorities taking measures to monitor mosquito larvae and eliminate them before a potential threat arises. Despite this warning, Doron is concerned that more people could be at risk if action is not taken immediately.
