A town in Massachusetts has recommended a curfew to its residents in hopes of limiting exposure to a ‘deadly mosquito-borne virus.’ The Board of Health in Oxford recommended residents do not stay outdoors past dusk to reduce the chances of catching Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE). Oxford, which has approximately 13,300 residents, is about 50 miles from Boston. However, the curfew will impact outdoor sports and after-school programs.

Triple E causes a fever and brain swelling and can lead to seizures and comas. One-third of people infected with EEE die and those who recover are often left with lifelong physical and mental difficulties. The dusk curfew, which falls around 8 pm in Massachusetts, is only a recommendation – not a rule – but town officials are hoping it will push people inside before peak mosquito hours, reducing risk of exposure. While not a requirement, the local school district will be enforcing the curfew, meaning after-school programs and sports may be canceled, ended early or moved indoors – something many parents, students and athletes are taking issue with. Nearly 1,000 Oxford residents have signed an online petition to keep sports fields open.

The Fournier sisters are worried it’ll jeopardize their only season cheering together. “This is my last year as a cheerleader on this team, and it would be really upsetting if I missed out on it,” eighth-grader Aria Fournier said. Oxford Little League President Philip Davis said, “We think the parents should be able to make decisions as parents, for our kids, for the well-being of our kids.” Additional coverage from CBS Boston:
