NJ Ranks 6th Among the States For Zika Virus Cases


The Zika virus was considered a biggest threat to the nation's warmest states, but think again.
New Jersey is now among the states with the highest number of Zika virus cases, coming in sixth overall - just behind Pennsylvania - as new fears about the disease have arisen.
All of the cases were travel-related, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC number of 66 conflicts with what the Department of Health is saying. The department reported that 100 confirmed cases of Zika have been found in New Jersey.
