Outbreaks have previously been reported in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands. Local transmission has also been reported in Puerto Rico. Cases of Zika fever have been reported in travelers returning to the United States.
Florida has confirmed local transmissions of the Zika virus in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties.
