The Latest: Governor talks about Zika tests in Florida

Government health officials are warning that pregnant women should avoid travel to the Zika-stricken part of Miami and urging expectant mothers who frequent the neighborhood to get tested for the virus.

A 60-year-old Miami man says he has tested positive for the Zika virus after health officials came to his house a few days ago and collected a urine sample.

Rosemary LeBranch told The Associated Press on Monday that health officials took samples from her as well as her mother and father, Gabriel Jean, who tested positive.

Zika is such a mild disease that most who get it don't even know they've been infected, but it can lead to severe brain-related birth defects if women are infected during pregnancy.

The CDC has issued a new advisory that says pregnant women should not travel to the so-called Zika "transmission area" in Florida and pregnant women who live there should take steps to prevent mosquito bites and sexual spread of the virus.

The CDC says men and women who have visited this area since June 15 should wait at least eight weeks before trying to conceive.

Because Zika infection has been found to linger in sperm for months, men with Zika symptoms should wait at least six months before trying to have a baby with their partner.
