Aerial spraying for Zika virus begins in Miami Beach

None

MIAMI BEACH- Aerial insecticide spraying to combat mosquitoes carrying the Zika virus is underway in Miami Beach.

 

A plane carrying the insecticide naled released the spray over the targeted area before dawn Friday. The next round is scheduled for 6:00am Sunday.

 

Some residents oppose the spraying, citing the potential for harmful effects. But county officials say the low concentration of naled won't harm them.
