Local Health Officials Testing Seven People For Zika Virus

Columbus Public Health says test results are pending on seven people who have returned from countries hit hard by the Zika virus. Each person has symptoms consistent with the mosquito-borne virus, and they were tested as a precaution. State health officials have said four Ohioans have the virus, including one in Licking County. All four recently returned from Haiti.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
