For the first time, the Zika virus has prompted public health
officials to warn pregnant women to avoid traveling to a part of the
continental United States. The travel advisory comes in response to a

state on Monday said there are 10 more people who have been infected

bringing the total number of such cases in the state to 14. All of the
cases have surfaced in a densely populated community north of downtown
Miami.
