Since the Zika outbreak was announced in the state, four zones of ongoing Zika transmission had been identified and subsequently cleared in recent months.

Today the last “Zika zone” in the state, located in the South Beach area of Miami Beach, was declared free of the Zika virus transmission.

“The South Beach area now does not have any local transmission of Zika and that’s a very good day for our state,” Scott told reporters.
