Today I learned, in an article on CNN, about how Miami is free of locally transmitted Zika viruses. This also means that the state of Florida is officially clear of the virus! The article said that these cases began to show up in July in this area. The article also provided the many symptoms of the virus.

"Our state has no local transmission, so we welcome all tourists to come enjoy our weather and our beaches," Scott said. "This state is open for business."

According to this article, although the state has made a major milestone, the risk is not over yet. Due to the state being a popular destination for tourists, the virus can easily end up there again. The virus is very much still present in the state. Floridians should also especially be careful during the holidays which is a very popular time for tourists.
