Call health dept: Call board of health and ask if zika found in your city. I don't know risk of zika in every city in the country.

Not to worry.: "Thus far in California, Zika virus infections have been documented only in people who were infected while traveling to areas with ongoing Zika transmission, through sexual contact with an infected traveler, or through maternal-fetal transmission during pregnancy."
