Zika outbreak in Florida prompts travel warning for pregnant women Pregnant women are being advised to consider postponing non-essential trips to Florida after an outbreak of the Zika virus.
Public Health England issued the warning after authorities in the southern US state confirmed four cases of the disease, thought to have been transmitted by mosquitoes.
More than 1,650 cases of Zika have been diagnosed in the US, but this is understood to be the first time the disease has been spread by local insects, rather than as a result of foreign travel or sexual contact. The Daily Telegraph
