ODH: Zika Virus Found In Ohio Resident

Ohio has its first human case of the Zika virus. The Ohio Department of Health says the virus has been found in a 30-year-old Cuayhoga County woman who recently returned from Haiti. This makes the 36 case that has been reported in 12 states and the District of Columbia. There is no vaccine for the mosquito-borne virus, so health officials advise people traveling to affected areas to take steps to prevent being bitten by a mosquito.
