Mosquito-borne illnesses

Worcester's mosquitoes are testing low for EEE and West Nile in their weekly tests ('though we're a "high risk" community). At this point, Worcester Public Schools sports played at home are going forward as scheduled, but sports played in high risk communities are being moved back to daytime hours.

Note that it is older adults, not children, that are highest risks for this, so it's more the grandparents watching than the kids on the field of highest concern.
