The warning came after 10 additional people in Florida were found to have been infected with Zika virus after being bitten by local mosquitoes, bringing the total to 14. "New test measurements over the weekend showed a risk of continued active transmission in that area," Frieden said. Late last week, Florida state health officials confirmed that four people had obtained Zika from mosquitoes in the same 150-square-meter area .
