Latta Statement on House Approval of Efforts to Fight the Zika Virus

Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) released the following statement after voting for legislation to combat the spread of the Zika virus as part of the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and Zika Response Appropriations Act. The bill passed the House earlier this morning.

“Zika is an urgent threat around the country and in Ohio as evidence by the recent diagnosis of the virus in Lucas County. The House has taken a responsible step forward by providing the necessary resources and policies to protect public health, especially for pregnant women and their babies. I’m hopeful that with such a pressing threat, the Senate will move quickly to pass this legislation and protect Americans from this virus."
