Florida might have the case of Zika not carried back by a traveler

  • 8 years ago
Florida health officials said Tuesday they were investigating a possible case of Zika that wasn't carried back by a traveler. If it's confirmed, it would be the first evidence that Zika has spread to mosquitoes in the continental U.S. All cases up to now have been in people who traveled to Zika-affected regions or their sexual partners. The Florida health department said it would give out Zika prevention kits and repellant in the area under investigation. "Zika kits are intended for pregnant women," it said.
