Florida Gov. Rick Scott declared Monday morning during a visit to Wynwood that the artsy Miami neighborhood is Zika-free — urging visitors to return to the struggling entertainment district even as federal health officials continued to advise that pregnant women and their partners consider postponing “nonessential travel” to all parts of Miami-Dade County.
“Everybody should be coming back here and enjoying themselves,” Scott said during a news conference at Wynwood Walls, where he was joined by area business owners, elected officials and representatives from the health department.
