“These results will help the department determine the number of people infected,” the Florida Health Department said in a news release. That changed this month, when health officials in Florida began investigating a possible non-travel-related case in Miami-Dade County. In June, the Florida Health Department announced the state’s first confirmed case of microcephaly in an infant born to a mother with Zika. Florida Health Department officials are urging residents and visitors to cooperate in the investigation, which began Wednesday, and will include door-to-door outreach and collection of urine samples. Florida is tracking 53 Zika cases involving pregnant women.
