First human case of West Nile virus this year reported in Windsor-Essex
The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit has confirmed its first human case of West Nile virus this year in one resident. The virus is an infection transmitted to people through the bite of an infected mosquito. The health unit said this positive human case is a reminder for Windsor-Essex residents to continue to protect themselves. 'It is important for everyone to eliminate any standing water around their property and take personal protective measures to avoid mosquito bites even as we approach the cooler fall months', said Dr. Aloosh, WECHU medical officer of health. Most people with WNV never develop symptoms and will not know that they have infection with the virus. Symptoms usually start to show between 2-14 days after a person is bitten by an infected mosquito. They can include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, body aches, skin rash, and swollen lymph glands. While WNV can infect people of all ages, people over the age of 50 and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for severe disease. Anyone concerned about any symptoms should contact their health care following tips can help protect individuals from mosquito bites: Apply insect repellents that are approved by Health Canada and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and a hat when outdoors. Light-coloured clothing is best as mosquitoes tend to be attracted to dark colours. Limit the time you spend outdoors at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. Remove any standing water in places such as bird baths, buckets, old tires, pet water dishes and gutters around your property. Make sure that door and window screens fit securely and are holes-free. Call 311 or your local by-law enforcement for standing water observed in your community For more information on WNV, please visit the WECHU's WNV page. For mosquito-borne disease surveillance data, please visit Data is updated every Friday

EllisDon chosen for first phase of Fancsy Family Hospital project
EllisDon has been chosen as the construction manager to complete the first phase of the Fancsy Family Hospital project. The first phase will see construction of an administration centre with an auditorium, simulation training centre, classrooms, and office space for support staff, a multi-level parking garage, and essential site infrastructure that will support future phases for the project. Windsor Regional Hospital (WRH) said work will take around three years to complete and will be the first visible step of it. It added that elements were designed to blend with the main hospital build. The ground is expected to be broken in early 2026 for the first phase. 'This announcement is another exciting and tangible step toward delivering the new state-of-the-art hospital our community has been waiting for,' said Karen Riddell, acting president, CEO, and chief nursing executive at WRH. 'By selecting EllisDon, we are partnering with a team that has a proven track record in delivering complex healthcare infrastructure. This early work will set the stage for the full build and bring us closer to a facility that will meet the needs of our patients, families, and staff for decades to come.'
