State health authorities say two female Pennsylvania residents have tested positive for the Zika virus.
The Pennsylvania Department of Health says the two had recently traveled to countries affected by the ongoing outbreak of the mosquito-borne virus.
Medical professionals say most people recover in about a week from symptoms that include fever, a rash and achy joints…but doctors believe the virus puts pregnant women at serious risks for birth defects.
State Secretary of Health Dr. Karen Murphy emphasized that the two cases in Pennsylvania “pose no threat to the public.”
