ESSEX COUNTY LASSA FEVER NOT LINKED TO MAPLEWOOD

This week's news that an unidentified Essex County man had died after being exposed to Lassa Fever -- and that some 150 others were being monitored for exposure to him -- prompted us to wonder if any of these people are linked to Maplewood.

We reach out to Health Office Robert Roe, who sent this email:

"The Lassa Fever case was not a Maplewood resident. As far as I am aware now, none of the contacts reside in Maplewood."

Good to know!
