In a memo sent to the Austin mayor and council earlier this week, ATCHHSD Director Shannon Jones said if local transmission does occur, it is expected to be in "small clustered areas."As of Aug. 19, Travis County has had six people test positive for Zika, two for Dengue, two for Chikungunya and one for West Nile.
