Ten New Local Cases Of Zika In South Florida Prompt Travel Advisory. 1st domestic travel ban in CDC's 70 year history

reports that Florida health officials on Monday “said there are 10 more people who have been infected with the Zika virus who likely contracted it from local mosquitoes, bringing the total number of such cases in the state to 14.” So far, all of the local Zika cases “have surfaced in a densely populated community north of downtown Miami.” CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden “said the agency issued the travel warning because of the additional Zika infections that were identified in the last 48 hours, and because of new information that indicates mosquito control efforts are not working as well as officials would have liked.” According to Dr. Frieden, mosquitoes may have either developed a resistance to the insecticides or were laying eggs in “cryptic breeding places” not easily accessible to mosquito control. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2016/08/01/florida-announces-10-new-zika-cases-a-travel-advisory-is-expected/
