It's part of a series of initiatives put in place by the state to help combat the virus. Under the plan, the Health Department will eliminate sources of standing water at 36 stations. Crews will increase drainage in the stations and use larvicide tablets to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds. "There's a common occurrence in the MTA where you have standing puddles on the water on the tracks, that could be a breeding ground for mosquitoes," said Governor Andrew Cuomo. "We are in the middle of a global epidemic regarding this and yes, it is true that we still have more to learn about the virus," said State Health Commissioner Howard Zucker. "But here in New York — here in New York we are aggressively fighting back and working hard to protect all the residents here." The Health Department is working with other state agencies to help stop the spread of the virus. Homeowners will also have access to larvicide tablets to eliminate breeding grounds around their homes.
