SF Health Officials urge travelers to take Zika infection prevention measures

Zika virus is not currently circulating in San Francisco, the Bay Area or California. The mosquito that spreads Zika, called Aedes, has not been found in San Francisco.

Health officials urge the public to take precautions if traveling to Zika-affected countries and recommend that pregnant women or those planning pregnancy postpone such travel until after the pregnancy. Pregnant women, or their sexual partners, who have traveled to a Zika-affected country should consult with their doctor about precautions.

Anyone who travels to a Zika-affected area should take precautions to avoid mosquito bites.

Find the current number of confirmed Zika virus cases in San Francisco at the State Department of Public Health.
