What would we do if there was a case of Zika in New Jersey?

Travel-related cases at this time of year are not a risk to the public since mosquitoes are not active in the U.S. during the winter months. However, if people are infected while visiting another country in months when mosquitoes are active in the U.S., it will be important for the Zika-infected traveler to avoid being bitten by a mosquito once they return to the U.S. for the week following illness onset. This will help prevent the mosquitoes here in the U.S. from getting infected by the traveler.
