Metro Health officials have confirmed to KENS 5 that there are two new cases of the Zika Virus in Bexar County.

One case was confirmed on February 2, and six were under investigation.

As of Wednesday, Metro Health officials said there are three confirmed cases, and three suspected cases under investigation.

The individuals reportedly all acquired the illness while traveling internationally.

Officials said they have gone through the incubation period and are at no risk to the public.

Metro Health officials said test results take longer to receive because they must be sent to the CDC for confirmation.

Officials said it is imperative that pregnant women who travel to affected countries get tested upon return. If there is a partner or husband who also traveled with them, they should also be tested for the virus.
