Health officials are urging people to eliminate standing water that attracts insects and use mosquito repellent.
The urging comes after the West Nile Virus was detected in mosquitoes collected from two Long Beach traps.
The virus has been detected in 14 counties across California—including Los Angeles and Riverside.
Health officials are urging people to avoid mosquito-infested areas, wear long-sleeved shirts and pants, keeps screens and windows closed, and limit the watering of lawns and outdoor plants.
There have been three confirmed cases of Californians contracting the virus.
