Our surveillance program remains fully active, and mosquito control operations are being conducted in areas where virus activity has been detected.

We encourage you to share the attached flyer with your residents to help them take the necessary steps for prevention.

A raccoon from Church Street has been found to be positive for rabies.
Please note, one positive raccoon does not mean every wild animal out there is positive.
DO NOT interact with wildlife. If a wild animal is acting peculiar, residents are advised to contact the Franklin Police Department or Animal Control (973-764-7751).
If testing is required, they will contact the health department.
The rabies page on the Sussex County website, also, has a wealth of information. Go to www.sussex.nj.us
