Florida probing 2nd possibly local Zika case

MIAMI — The Florida Health Department says it's now investigating a second possible non-travel related case of Zika infection in South Florida.

The case is in Broward County, which neighbors Miami-Dade, where the first such investigation continues.

The department says in a news release that it is working with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and that the state government has asked that the CDC to send an epidemiologist to Florida to help with the investigation.

Health authorities are testing mosquitoes and have not yet confirmed that anyone has been infected by a bite in the mainland United States.
