"CDC's New Miami Zika 'Red Zone' Means Stay Out for Pregnant Women" [1]

"Federal health officials have made a new color-coded map for Miami and say pregnant women should stay out of the "red zone" — where Zika virus is actively infecting new people daily.

And they say pregnant women should consider postposing all travel to Miami-Dade county for the time being, designating the entire county a "yellow zone."

"Pregnant women should specifically avoid travel to red areas because the intensity of Zika virus transmission confirmed in these areas is a significant risk to pregnant women," the CDC said in a statement."

Maggie Fox reports for NBC News October 19, 2016. [2]
