The Florida Department of Health on Nov. 3 reported a case of sexually transmitted Zika virus in a resident of Miami-Dade County.
The infected individual's sexual partner recently traveled to Cuba and several other areas where possible mosquito-borne Zika transmission could occur, according to health officials.
"There is no evidence of ongoing, active transmission of Zika anywhere in Florida," said the health department. "According to established protocol, the department notified mosquito control and appropriate mosquito reduction activities have occurred and will continue. If the department identifies an area where ongoing, active transmission of Zika is taking place, we will notify the public immediately."
In October, Florida health officials reported the state's first case of locally acquired Zika. The incident was reportedly isolated.
