DANVILLE – The Vermilion County Health Department is alerting the public that the West Nile Virus is present in the county now that a dead crow has tested positive for the virus.

"Now that we know the West Nile Virus is in the community, we will no longer be accepting birds for testing," said Environmental Health Director Kolby Riggle in a new release Thursday afternoon. "The testing has served its purpose, and now we want to alert Vermilion County residents that the virus is in our community, and they need to take precautions."
