The last “zika zone” has been officially cleared in Miami Dade county. On December 9, Governor Rick Scott declared Miami Beach officially Zika free.

In October, the area of Miami Beach was declared a “zika zone,” which means that the ZIka virus was actively spreading through the area. However, recently the Zika zones in Wynwood and Miami Beach have been lifted, making South Florida officially free of the spreading virus.

Zika is primarily carried by mosquitoes, and is spread by being being bitten by an infected carrier. According to NBC, however, effective spraying of mosquito-killing chemicals has efficiently eradicated the mosquitoes that carried the virus, making the previous “zika zones” safe once more.

However, on December 15, the CDC declared Brownsville, Texas, a “zika zone,” meaning that the United States is not free from the threat of Zika just yet.

Although the CDC and county officials have declared Miami Dade free of Zika, it would still be wise to stay safe by wearing long sleeves, putting on bug spray, and avoiding mosquito-full areas.
