I take lot’s of folks to the airport…and many are concerned about the Zika virus.

So I tell them what I hear on the news.  

If you’re going to South America, Central America, or the Carribean, be extra careful.  

And if you’re pregnant, you probably shouldn’t go at all.  

All the facts are at a new web site from New York State.  

Including how to get tested for free.  

Go to nysfightzika.com. And be safe this summer.
