AUSTIN (KXAN) — While none of Texas’ 93 Zika cases have been locally transmitted through mosquito bites, the state says with local Zika cases detected in Florida, they are ramping up their efforts to make sure Texans take all precautionary measures to prevent Zika.

The Department of State Health and Services Wednesday said it’s spending more than $6 million in federal and state funds on surveillance, lab testing, public education and awareness as well as Zika prevention kids. Texas Medicaid will now cover the cost of mosquito repellent for eligible women starting Aug. 9.

As people travel to Brazil for the Olympics, Texas officials believe the risk of local Zika transmission is now much higher.

“It’s the perfect mix – local transmission in Florida, travel to Brazil, and we’re at the height of mosquito season in Texas,” said Dr. John Hellerstedt, Texas Department of State Health Services commissioner. “Local transmission here is likely at some point. The good news is that Texas is ready.”

If local transmission is detected in Texas-which the state says is likely at “some point”-the state has eight state public health Zika Response Teams at the ready. The state believes if local transmission does happen, it’s more likely to appear in small pockets instead of a appearing across a large area of the state.

Currently, 42 women in Texas have been reported to the CDC’s Zika Pregnancy Registry. That number includes three pregnant woman who are confirmed Zika cases.To Quality for Mosquito Repellent
