The FDA has asked Miami-Dade and Broward counties to immediately stop collecting blood out of fear of spreading the Zika virus.
The state is investigating multiple non-travel-related Zika virus cases in Miami-Dade and Broward that could be the first time Zika has spread by mosquito in the United States.
