            Montco Reports First Zika Virus Case

            Norristown, PA (March 8, 2016) ? The Montgomery County Health Department (MCHD) today
            announced confirmation of the first case of Zika virus in the county. A 55-year-old woman tested
            positive for the virus, following travel outside of the United States to an area where Zika virus has
            been found. There are now six confirmed cases of Zika virus in Pennsylvania,
            according to the state
            Department of Health.

            ?The Zika virus is generally a mild virus that lasts less than a week,? said Montgomery County
            Commissioner Val Arkoosh, who is also a physician and is Interim Medical Director of the Montgomery
            County Health Department. ?The CDC, the state health department, and our county health
            department are fully prepared for cases of Zika virus, which is important to note, cannot be
            transmitted through casual contact. We want to strongly encourage our residents to focus on
            mosquito bite prevention, if they travel to countries that are affected by the ongoing outbreak. It is also
            important to talk with your healthcare provider about travel if you are pregnant or planning to become
            pregnant.?
