If you're considering a visit to the hospital emergency department, you can now check wait times on the CKHA website.

CKHA adds that the times are not a guarantee as emergencies and patients in need of more immediate care will be triaged first. Mosquitoes from Tilbury have tested positive for West Nile virus. Chatham-Kent Public Health says the insects were collected on September 15th.

0:48

West Nile virus is transmitted to people through the bite of an infected mosquito, though most people don't experience any symptoms. The Health Unit says the best way to prevent mosquito bites are to stay indoors at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active, wear long sleeves and pants, use insect repellent
