BALTIMORE (AP) — Maryland health officials say 31 people in the state have been infected with the Zika virus.
Health officials tell The Baltimore Sun (http://tinyurl.com/z8374lm) that all the cases were travel-related and no one has contracted Zika from being bitten by a mosquito in the state. However, if a mosquito bites an infected person and then bites someone else, the disease can spread.
Health and Mental Hygiene Secretary Van Mitchell says in a statement that the department is trying to prevent such occurrences.
