Florida health officials have confirmed local transmission of Zika is happening in a new, small area of Miami-Dade County, Gov. Rick Scott announced Thursday.

The street boundaries are Northwest 79th Street to the north, Northwest 63rd Street to the south, Northwest 10th Avenue to the West and North Miami Avenue to the east.

The area is about 1 square mile.

The Florida Department of Health has identified five people — two women and three men — in the new area. Three live in the 1-square-mile area, and the other two work in or have visited the area.

Four of the cases have already been announced by health officials and were under the normal investigation process.

With confirmation of Thursday's final case, the area metes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's criteria for a new zone.

All five individuals are non-travel-related cases. The Department of Health has evidence that Zika is only actively being transmitted in the two small areas, including Miami Beach and the new area.

"Today's announcement of a new area in Miami of ongoing local transmission of the Zika virus underscores the urgent need for federal funding to combat the Zika virus," Scott said in a statement. "It has been two weeks since federal funding to fight Zika was approved by Congress and signed by President Obama. However, Florida has not yet received a dime. We don't need bureaucratic timeliness. We need funding now."

Scott has allocated $61.2 million in state funds to combat Zika, his office said. Miami-Date County has received $12.6 million.

Zika is primarily transmitted through mosquito bites, specifically the same mosquitoes that spread Chikungunya and dengue. Health officials say the best way to prevent Zika, as well as other mosquito-borne illnesses, is to avoid being bitten in the first place.
