(DNAINFO)  Dusica Malesevic | August 1, 2016 — New Yorkers should be wary about traveling to Miami after at least 14 cases of locally transmitted Zika virus were confirmed, the city’s Health Department said Monday.

The Health Department and the mayor’s office issued the warning Monday in a joint statement, following an advisory from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“The fact that Zika is spreading locally in this Miami neighborhood means that pregnant women, women trying to conceive, and their sexual partners put themselves and their unborn child at risk of potential Zika infection when visiting this area,” said Deputy Mayor Herminia Palacio and Health Commissioner Mary Bassett in a statement.

The Health Department already has travel warnings in effect for Latin America and the Caribbean.
