Florida confirms 5 new cases of Zika, 1 reported outside transmission zones


Scott said at a Zika roundtable held in the Tampa area’s Pinellas County that four new cases were connected to mosquitoes in Miami’s Wynwood arts district. State officials had predicted Monday that the number will rise in the coming weeks without swift mosquito eradication in the area. The Herald reported that among the conversations that took place during the meeting, Levine criticized Scott for not keeping the city informed of new local Zika cases as they arise. As of Monday, State Surgeon General Celeste Philip told the Herald there were no new local cases to report. But there were seven additional travel-related cases, consisting of four in Miami-Dade, two in Osceola and one that involves a pregnant woman, bringing the state’s total to 600 Zika cases so far this year.
