Summit County Public Health (SCPH) was notified by the Ohio Department of Health that a Summit County resident that traveled to a Zika Virus Disease infected country in late February has tested positive for Zika Virus Disease. Pregnancy is not an issue with the infected individual and since Zika Virus Disease is spread primarily by the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the individual is not infectious. “This local case is not a threat to the public health of Summit County residents,” stated Dr. Marguerite Erme, Medical Director, SCPH. The illness was mild, hospitalization was not required, and the individual is currently symptom free. To protect privacy, SCPH will not be releasing any additional details regarding the infected individual.
