Florida reports new case of locally acquired Zika infection
Florida health officials reported a new locally acquired Zika infection in Miami-Dade County on Monday, as well as four new travel-related cases in South Florida. "Because the individual was asymptomatic, it is difficult to determine when infection occurred," Florida health officials said. "It is not uncommon, however, for there to be isolated incidents of locally acquired Zika," officials said. Florida health officials have been monitoring pregnant women with evidence of Zika regardless of symptoms. For more information, Florida residents and visitors can call the Zika Virus Information Hotline at 1-855-622-6735.rpiccardo@pokemon/" target="_blank">sun-sentinel.com, 954-356-4544 or Twitter @rebecapiccardoFile photoDOHAQatar has reported the first infection of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), commonly known as coronavirus, in 2017.
