Gov. Rick Scott declared a health emergency in four counties 
Wednesday after at least nine cases of the mosquito-borne Zika illness 
were detected in Florida.                

                Health officials believe all of the cases are from people who contracted the disease while traveling to affected countries.                

                "We have to ensure Florida is prepared and stays ahead of the spread of the Zika virus in our state," Scott said in a statement. "We know that we must be prepared for the worst even as we hope for the best."                

                Scott signed the order to cover Miami-Dade, Lee, 
Hillsborough and Santa Rosa counties. That's where all of the affected 
cases were detected.
