The South Carolina Department of Public Health confirmed two West Nile virus cases in Myrtle Beach. Officials note the virus is spread by mosquitoes, not person-to-person, and urge residents to remove standing water, apply approved insect repellents, wear protective clothing, and limit outdoor activity during peak mosquito times. The city is expanding mosquito-control efforts with aerial spraying, larvicide treatments, and enhanced surveillance to curb transmission.
