On Feb. 12, Governor Scott directed the State Surgeon General to activate a Zika Virus Information Hotline for current Florida residents and visitors, as well as anyone planning on traveling to Florida in the near future. The hotline, managed by the Department of Health, has assisted 1,333 callers since it launched. The number for the Zika Virus Information Hotline is 1-855-622-6735.
All cases are travel-associated. There have been no locally-acquired cases of Zika in Florida. For more information on the Zika virus, click here.
The department urges Floridians to drain standing water weekly, no matter how seemingly small. A couple drops of water in a bottle cap can be a breeding location for mosquitoes. Residents and visitors also need to use repellents when enjoying the Florida outdoors.
More Information on DOH action on Zika:
  • On Feb. 3, Governor Scott directed the State Surgeon General to issue a Declaration of Public Health Emergency for the counties of residents with travel-associated cases of Zika.
    • The Declaration currently includes the 15 affected counties ? Alachua, Brevard, Broward, Clay, Collier, Hillsborough, Lee, Miami-Dade, Orange, Osceola, Palm Beach, Polk, Santa Rosa, Seminole and St. Johns ? and will be updated as needed.
  • DOH encourages Florida residents and visitors to protect themselves from all mosquito-borne illnesses by draining standing water; covering their skin with repellent and clothing; and covering windows with screens.
  • DOH has a robust mosquito-borne illness surveillance system and is working with the CDC, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and local county mosquito control boards to ensure that the proper precautions are being taken to protect Florida residents and visitors.
  • On April 6, Governor Rick Scott and Interim State Surgeon General Dr. Celeste Philip hosted a conference call with Florida Mosquito Control Districts to discuss ongoing preparations to fight the possible spread of the Zika virus in Florida. There were 74 attendees on the call.
  • Florida currently has the capacity to test 6,821 people for active Zika virus and 1,603 for Zika antibodies.
Federal Guidance on Zika:
  • According to the CDC, Zika illness is generally mild with a rash, fever and joint pain. CDC researchers are examining a possible link between the virus and harm to unborn babies exposed during pregnancy.
  • The FDA released guidance regarding donor screening, deferral and product management to reduce the risk of transfusion-transmission of Zika virus. Additional information is available on the FDA website here.
  • The CDC has put out guidance related to the sexual transmission of the Zika virus. This includes the CDC recommendation that if you have traveled to a country with local transmission of Zika you should abstain from unprotected sex.

Florida - Two weeks after contracting Zika virus in Colombia, Boca Raton woman still feeling sick

Two weeks after contracting Zika virus, Boca woman still feeling sick

LOCAL By Alexandra Seltzer - Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Posted: 10:37 a.m. Tuesday, April 12, 2016

It?s been about two weeks since a 36-year-old Boca Raton woman was bitten by a mosquito in Colombia and contracted the Zika virus and she is still battling the symptoms.

Ibana Villasenor said her sister no longer has a rash all over her body, but still has muscle twitching and the feeling of pins and needles throughout her body.
...
The woman ? who asked she not be identified ? is no longer at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told her they would like her to undergo more testing, Villasenor said.

And, her 10-year-old daughter had a fever and felt nauseous on Monday, Villasenor said.

Florida - Gov. Rick Scott: Washington must handle Zika like a hurricane

Gov. Rick Scott: Washington Must Handle Zika Like a Hurricane

On May 4, 2016, in News Releases, by Staff



Governor will meet with Congressional leaders on Zika next week​

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, Governor Rick Scott released the following statement announcing that he will travel to Washington D.C. next week, May 11th and 12th, to meet with Congressional leaders on the importance of putting partisanship aside and treating the Zika virus threat like a hurricane, which triggers specific preparation and response efforts by the federal government.

Governor Scott said, “Florida has now had more than 100 documented cases of the Zika virus. We are now headed into summer, when heat and rainfall cause our mosquito population to grow. Simultaneously, the Olympic games in Brazil will heavily increase travel to a country where the Zika virus is spreading rapidly.

“We don’t yet know for certain what will happen with this virus, but we owe our citizens a vigorous and thorough preparation effort at the federal level to best protect their health. Congress and the Obama Administration have discussed different plans to combat the Zika virus, some with different price tags. While there is no doubt that Washington wastes money on many things, that vast history of wrongful spending should not stop the federal government from doing the right thing now by executing a robust plan to prevent and combat the spread of Zika in America.

“Like the movements of a hurricane, many things about the Zika virus are still unknown. What long-term effects it has on people, especially pregnant women, have yet to be conclusively determined. The virus is relatively new and much of the federal government’s own information on how it is transmitted and its long-term health effects is still evolving. Just as the time to prepare for a hurricane is before landfall, the time to prepare for combating this virus if it becomes mosquito-borne is now. Washington must put politics aside and agree to a comprehensive plan to protect and respond to the spread of Zika in America. To best protect our citizens, this agreement must be made immediately.

“Working together, Washington leaders can ensure Zika protection and response efforts are both fully funded and fully safeguarded against waste – just as they enact safeguards on emergency spending around a natural disaster. We have enough opportunity for politics in 2016. The federal government’s actions to combat Zika should be without political grandstanding, and soley focus on protecting our citizens from a dangerous threat.”

Florida Keys - Fear of mosquitoes vs. technology

Fear Of Mosquitoes Vs. Technology

By NANCY KLINGENER ? MAY 9, 2016
...

While Florida is focusing on the prospect of the Zika virus getting a foothold in the state, the focus in the Florida Keys is on Aedes aegypti, the mosquitoes that carry the disease.

That's because the British company Oxitec has proposed its first U.S. trial of a genetically modified version of the mosquito in a Keys neighborhood. The Cayman Islands, site of the first-ever field trial six years ago, recently agreed to go forward with releasing the Oxitec mosquitoes.

In the Keys, public opposition against the trial has been vocal. An online petition has more than 166,000 signatures ? more than twice the population of the island chain. And at recent meetings held by Oxitec and the Florida Keys Mosquito Control Board to answer questions about the technology, opponents filled the meeting rooms, holding signs reading "No Consent."

The FDA has reviewed the proposal to release about 3 million mosquitoes in Key Haven, a peninsula a few miles from Key West. The agency released a preliminary finding of no significant impact. The public has until May 13 to provide public comment.

The Florida Keys Mosquito Control Board, meanwhile, recently decided to allow residents of Key Haven to vote on the proposal. A majority of the board members have said they will abide by the results of the vote.

Florida - After the storm, remember to drain and cover

[h=1]After the Storm, Remember to Drain and Cover[/h] By Florida Department of Health, Office of Communications

[h=2]AFTER THE STORM, REMEMBER TO DRAIN AND COVER[/h] [h=3][/h] Contact:
Communications Office

(850) 245-4111
Tallahassee, Fla.?As the Florida counties impacted by Tropical Storm Colin begin to clean up, the Florida Department of Health reminds everyone to do their part in preventing mosquito breeding. All Florida residents and visitors are asked to ?Drain and Cover? to help keep our families and neighbors safe; it only takes a bottle cap of water for some mosquitoes to breed and multiply.
?We must all do our part to act quickly to eliminate new sources of standing water brought on by Tropical Storm Colin, which can rapidly become mosquito breeding sites,? said State Surgeon General and Secretary of Health Dr. Celeste Philip. ?While we have not experienced local transmission of Zika in Florida, we must remain vigilant in our efforts to protect ourselves from mosquito bites in and around our homes.?
To protect against mosquitoes, the department urges the public to ?Drain and Cover?:
DRAIN standing water:
  • Drain water from garbage cans, buckets, pool covers, coolers, toys, flowerpots or any other containers where sprinkler or rainwater has collected.
  • Discard old tires, drums, bottles, cans, pots and pans, broken appliances and other items that aren't being used.
  • Empty and clean birdbaths and pet's water bowls at least once or twice a week.
  • Protect boats and vehicles from rain with tarps that don?t accumulate water.
  • Maintain swimming pools in good condition and appropriately chlorinated. Empty plastic swimming pools when not in use.
COVER your skin with:
  • CLOTHING - If you must be outside when mosquitoes are active, cover up. Wear shoes, socks, long pants and long sleeves.
  • REPELLENT - Apply mosquito repellent to bare skin and clothing. Always use repellents according to the label. Repellents with 10-30 percent DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, and IR3535 are effective.
  • Use mosquito netting to protect children younger than 2 months old.
COVER doors and windows with screens:
  • Keep mosquitoes out of your house. Repair broken screening on windows, doors, porches and patios.
Tips on Eliminating Mosquito Breeding Sites:
  • Clean out troughs and gutters;
  • Remove old tires or drill holes in those used in playgrounds to drain;
  • Turn over or remove empty plastic pots;
  • Pick up all beverage containers and cups;
  • Check tarps on boats or other equipment that may collect water;
  • Replace water in birdbaths and pet or other animal feeding dishes at least once a week;
  • Change water in plant trays, including hanging plants, at least once a week; and
  • Remove vegetation or obstructions in drainage ditches that prevent the flow of water.
The department has created a public service announcement on the ?Drain and Cover? method, which you can view here.

Florida - ​Miami is ?ground zero? for outbreak of Zika virus, doctor warns

Miami is ?ground zero? for outbreak of Zika virus, doctor warns
...
?We don?t want to scare people,? said Dr. Jason James, chairman of the hospital?s department of obstetrics and gynecology and the event's moderator. ?But our goal here is to educate people so they make appropriate choices.?

He said Miami is ?ground zero? for a possible outbreak because of the tropical weather, the number of Latin American travelers and the Aedes aegypti and aedes albopictus mosquitoes that are present in South Florida.

Tallahassee, Fla. ? In an effort to keep Florida residents and visitors safe and aware about the status of the Zika virus, the Florida Department of Health will issue a Zika virus update each week day at 2 p.m. Updates will include a CDC-confirmed Zika case count by county and information to better keep Floridians prepared.
Yesterday, Governor Scott spoke with Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell and Centers for Diseases Control (CDC) Director Dr. Tom Frieden on Zika preparedness and reiterated the requests that he has continued to make to the federal government to prepare for the Zika virus once it becomes mosquito-borne in Florida. Governor Scott also requested that the CDC provide an additional 1,300 Zika antibody tests to Florida to allow individuals, especially pregnant women and new mothers, to see if they ever had the Zika virus.
There are three new travel related cases today including two in Miami-Dade and one in Pasco counties. Of the cases confirmed in Florida, eight are still exhibiting symptoms. According to CDC, symptoms associated with the Zika virus last between seven to 10 days.
CDC recommends that women who are pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant postpone travel to Zika affected areas. According to CDC guidance, providers should consider testing all pregnant women with a history of travel to a Zika affected area for the virus. CDC recommends that a pregnant woman with a history of Zika virus and her provider should consider additional ultrasounds.
Florida has been monitoring pregnant women with evidence of Zika regardless of symptoms since January. The total number of pregnant women who have been monitored is 38, with 9 having met the previous CDC case definition.

On Feb. 12, Governor Scott directed the State Surgeon General to activate a Zika Virus Information Hotline for current Florida residents and visitors, as well as anyone planning on traveling to Florida in the near future. The hotline, managed by the Department of Health, has assisted 2,009 callers since it launched. The number for the Zika Virus Information Hotline is 1-855-622-6735.
All cases are travel-associated. There have been no locally-acquired cases of Zika in Florida. For more information on the Zika virus, click here.
