Miami has reported its first case of the Zika virus this year.

The patient sexually contracted Zika from their partner who was bit by an infected mosquito while traveling to several countries, including Cuba where the virus is still prevalent.

The Florida Department of Health reported that there were signs the virus was only transmitted between the partners who live in Miami-Dade County.

Though there is no evidence of the Zika outbreak in Florida, officials are warning residents to take precaution if they or their partners have recently traveled due to last summer’s massive outbreak.
