Separately, cases have been confirmed over the past 48 hours by state agencies in Virginia and Minnesota.
No known transmissions of Zika have taken place inside the US. The virus isn't contagious between humans but is spread by mosquitoes. These 3 new U.S. victims are said to have acquired Zika abroad.
