Department of Health advises pregnant women to refuse trips to Miami Beach

The City Department of Health advises pregnant women to refrain from traveling to Miami Beach, as there is official confirmation that mosquitoes carry the virus of Zeka there. Winwood also got on the "black list".

"The Department of Health strongly encourages pregnant women or women who are trying to become pregnant and their partners to avoid traveling to these places in Miami-Dade County, Florida ," said Mary Bassett, head of the New York City Department of Health.

According to authorities, 36 people have been infected with the virus in Winwood and Miami Beach since July . There, the virus does not spread as rapidly as in Latin America and the Caribbean, due to the large number of mosquito nets on windows and air conditioning, but the Centers for Prevention and Control of Incidence have added the Miami-Dade County to the list of places that should be avoided by pregnant women. In New York, the virus was diagnosed in 500 people. The authorities want to prevent infection of the virus among pregnant women, since it affects not only the mother, but also the child. "We ask all pregnant women and their partners who have recently been in these areas to immediately contact the doctor to determine if they should take the test ," Bassett said.
