Opportunity afforded to educate Congress on Zika virus.

It was an honor to testify June 15 in Washington, D.C., before 12 members of the Florida delegation of the U.S. House of Representatives, regarding the worldwide Zika virus crisis. I told the congressmen that while there have been no reported positive cases in Sarasota or Manatee County, no county in Florida is impervious to the Zika threat. The number of cases we have seen thus far is only the beginning.
