All eyes are on Tulare County where health officials there have confirmed their first travel related Zika case.


According to the CDC there are now 114 cases in the state to date.
     
"It was something we were not hoping for, but it was something we knew could likely happen," says Jason Britt from the Tulare County Department of Public Health.

The Zika virus is keeping the Tulare County health officials busy.

A county resident who recently traveled to Central America tested positive for the virus.
