Three pregnant Florida women have contracted the Zika virus.



That�s according to the Florida Department of Health. Researchers are studying possible links between Zika in pregnant women and birth defects in babies.



The Florida Department of Health won�t say where in Florida the cases were confirmed, but all were contracted while traveling outside the U.S.



�We have however identified three pregnant women who traveled to countries affected by Zika and likely had Zika virus in those countries and returned without any symptoms,� Florida Surgeon General Dr. John Armstrong told a congressional subcommittee on Zika.





Florida Governor Rick Scott has asked the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for 250 additional Zika tests.



So far, 32 Floridians have caught the Zika virus while traveling outside the country. Only three of those cases are considered active infections. Central Florida is up to five Zika cases in Brevard, Orange, Osceola and now Seminole counties.
