Obama Administration officials

will visit Orlando today to see how Orange County is fighting to prevent an outbreak of the Zika virus in Central Florida.

Two officials from the Obama Administration plan to visit Orange County today to see how the area is preparing for and preventing Zika.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell and U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy will accompany Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs for a tour of Orange County Mosquito Control to hear how the county is attempting to stop breeding grounds for the mosquito-borne illness.

The visit comes on the heels President Obama vowing millions more in funding to Florida as news broke last week that the state health department was investigating two possible non-travel-related cases in South Florida. If confirmed, the cases would be the first non-travel-related cases in the United States.

Since February, Florida has tracked more than 300 cases of the virus. Orange County has documented 33 travel-related cases. Osceola had 15 cases, Seminole recorded nine, and Lake County had one case. Nationally, there have been more than 1,300 cases reported. Of those, 14 were sexually transmitted.

Orange County Mosquito Control hired extra workers to help set mosquito traps, look for standing water where the pests like to breed and encourage residents to be vigilant about emptying outside containers that can hold water.

The virus is transmitted via infected mosquitoes and sexual contact. Health officials have been advising men and women of child-bearing age to postpone their travel to countries where the Zika virus is widespread.

Nearly 50 of the cases of Zika in the state have been in pregnant woman. One baby was born with Zika-related microcephaly after the mother and baby were infected outside the states.
