As of Friday morning, 15 cases of non-travel-related Zika have been confirmed in South Florida – with the majority of these cases coming from a 10-block radius in Downtown Miami’s Wynwood area.  This has led to the Center for Disease Control to issue an unprecedented tourism warning – recommending a travel ban for pregnant women.  Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Chief of Emergency Medicine, Dr. Bobby Kapur, joins us to explain the latest on this developing situation.
