If there are public health advisories to avoid areas with high concentrations of mosquitoes, should I cancel planned outdoor activities in the evening?
It isn’t necessary to limit any outdoor activities. You should take precautions to avoid mosquito bites if high mosquito populations are present. Follow recommendations to reduce mosquito activity around your home. Wear shoes, socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt made from tightly-woven, light-colored fabric if you need to be outdoors for an extended period of time, especially in the evening. Also, use an effective mosquito repellent according to the instructions on the label.
