Oh no! They are reporting that the island is Zika-free!!! That must mean it is on the island. I knew of a handful of people with Chicken-Dengue when they said there was not of that on the island!!.
Not sure if the report was from the department of health or tourism. The same paper also has an article indicating cases in Tulum. Personnely I am keeping with my routine of lots of bug spray.
Here is the Tulum article and a semi translation via Chrome

It Zika"
"The doctor told me" / Testimony of Sergio Dzib Chan, carpenter X-Can X-CAN.- "I was working wood doors in Tulum and the scorpion stung me here on my arm and after a while, I was stung cerquita the mosquito; when I got out of the van that comes to my house I felt very hot, very weak, but I took a bath and went to church, we had rehearsal for an important concert, but to sing, never left my voice, I had set up the microphone and Pastor Limber and friends Jorge, David and Carlos took me to the health center, the doctor told me it was Zika. " That was the story of Sergio Dzib Chan, carpenter, 28, a native of this station Chemax, Yucatan, and commuting to Tulum or Cancun to work as a carpenter. The young man, with a strong faith in their religion, said what worries him most is not being able to sing at the next concert will be on your church; irritation appeared close to his eyes and nose and said skin feel better, but Wednesday was a major upset. FOR THIS! He located the address of the young carpenter and arrived while a white van with YZG 8487 plates was parked at the door of the house and Sergio answered questions from a woman, accompanied by brigades of the Ministry of Health of Yucatán, and carrying membretados vests. They questioned how many cases had already detected and how Sergio was, and the answer was that they knew what we meant and there was nothing to confirm. However, on the windshield of the vehicle carried a copy of Por Esto! where we post as principal note the first cases of Zika in the state.Officials called off the conversation with the patient and climbed into the van. "Today has come to me many people, Pastor, my neighbors, I had never been on daily, I am very concerned because I'm afraid to lose my job tomorrow is payday, I will not lose my job. I sing, I am a singer, I am a Christian and I have great faith that I'll be fine, I want to keep singing in the church of Christ. "Here live alone, my mom is in Cancun with my brothers who are 15 and 16, my selling honey and dad will is there, I come and go. That day I got bitten by the scorpion and the gnat, I thought I was weak from the scorpion, but out of the van at 5 in the afternoon to get home I felt very hot; in the trial, after my bath, I felt stronger fever, but never felt like when I gave chikungunya, that already gave me, but I felt the same. "The doctor told me it was Zika, who could not leave because I can spread, I rest a week, I was prescribed paracetamol and gave me two sera that day, that day also came to be fumigated, Thursday I felt better. Here are pretty mosquito, but for trees, heat, right now no, because there is cold, "said the young man at the foot of the barricade. Sergio was reported to work as Zika sick and could not work, but now fear losing their jobs and not being paid. Sergio and a child under 7 years are the first two cases of Zika community in Yucatan and felt dismayed and genuinely curious in the presence of brigade going from house to house asking questions, as well as several trucks that circulated again and again through the streets of the village as rehearsing the route they would take to spray just fall afternoon.Men and women in the streets stopped to talk what happened on their bikes, tricycles, stopped to exchange how little they knew about it, and visited families for this! They said it heard by the newspaper as it did not understand why there were so many trucks spraying. The Health Center X-Can was around several sprayers trucks and in the main square people talked of nothing else. "God hears my prayers, I would be OK to sing and God willing I'll be fine, "Sergio said. (Veronica Martinez)
