The Zika virus is spreading beyond the small area of the Miami neighborhood of Wynwood, now moving to a part of Miami Beach, Florida officials confirmed Friday.
Republican Gov. Rick Scott told reporters that five Zika cases were the result of local transmission, likely through mosquito bites, along a one-and-a-half-mile part of Miami Beach. Previously, officials had said the virus was spreading locally only in a one-mile-radius in Wynwood.
