KEELPNO has reported that the individual who contracted the West Nile Virus lives in an agricultural area in Argolida, Peloponnese. The organization also noted that people living and visiting Greece should take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes throughout the country as they can not predict where the next case might occur.
