As of Wednesday, there were more than 10,200 confirmed cases of Zika in the United States and its territories. But Florida remains the only state with active transmission of the mosquito-borne virus that causes birth defects and neurological disorders in adults.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott confirmed Friday that the Zika virus is being spread locally by mosquitoes in Miami Beach, prompting a new travel advisory by federal officials.
At least five people have been infected there, including one person from Texas, one from New York and another from Taiwan who each have returned home but were infected while traveling in Miami Beach, Gov. Scott said during a news conference.
Previously, officials had pinpointed local infections in a one-square-mile area north of downtown Miami known as Wynwood.
