Santa Clara County officials have enacted a partial quarantine after the presence of Oriental fruit flies was found.
"In Santa Clara, and in other urban areas in California, we’re just a gateway for invasive pests," said Joe Deviney, the county’s agriculture commissioner.
That type of neighborly trading of fruit will be on hold for several months. This, after county officials announced a 112-mile quarantine area of fruits and vegetables, due to the presence of Oriental fruit flies. The quarantine impacts all of Santa Clara, and parts of Cupertino, Milpitas, San Jose, and Sunnyvale."We’re trying to lock down that area. So no fruits or vegetables will leave, which might spread the fly," said Deviney.
