A Shasta County resident is in the hospital with the West Nile virus, the first reported human case in the county this year, health officials announced Tuesday.
The announcement confirmed the patient is an adult but did not say where they contracted the virus or provide any other identifying information to protect the patient’s privacy.
The first sign of West Nile virus appeared in Redding in early July.
The Shasta Mosquito and Vector Control District said it had found in one of its traps an adult male mosquito that was carrying the disease.
