The Environmental Protection Ministry reports that mosquitoes carrying the West Nile virus were captured in Tel Aviv, Ramat Hasharon, the Mateh Yehuda Regional Council in the Jerusalem foothills and the Yoav Regional Council southeast of Tel Aviv.

The ministry instructs all authorities to further expand their monitoring and extermination efforts, both in urban areas and in uninhabited regions.

It asks the public to take steps to protect themselves from mosquito bites.
