The Zika virus is causing all kinds of problems in Miami, Florida and now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended on Monday that pregnant women avoid any unnecessary travel to an area near downtown Miami in light of new locally transmitted cases that surfaced over the weekend and the possibility that mosquitoes in the area may be resistant to insecticide.
Excerpt From US News:
Officials also recommended that anyone who had been to the area after June 15 should wait at least eight weeks before trying to conceive. The virus, which can be spread sexually as well as through mosquitoes, is believed to stay in semen for at least two months, so men who have had Zika should wait at least six months before trying to impregnate their partner, given that the virus causes the birth defect microcephaly, CDC said.
