There have been five locally transmitted cases of the Zika virus confirmed in an area of Miami Beach, Florida Governor Rick Scott said Friday.
Three of those individuals were visitors to the area when they contracted the virus. This brings the total number of locally transmitted cases in Florida to 36.
Scott said the area in Miami Beach is limited to 1.5 square miles. On July 31, Scott announced the first local transmission of the virus in the continental United States has occurred in an area north of downtown Miami.
