Parts of Santa Clara County have been placed under quarantine after invasive oriental fruit flies were detected in cities including Santa Clara and Sunnyvale, county officials said.
California's agriculture secretary has quarantined a 112-square-mile portion of the county, which includes all of Santa Clara and parts of Cupertino, Milpitas, San Jose and Sunnyvale. The quarantine went into effect Sept. 1 and will likely last until June 1, 2024, according to the county's chief.
