The CDC is now advising doctors to know the symptoms of the virus and to ask questions about where patients recently traveled.
>> Thank you, Peter isn't something that we normally think of when we think of diseases in the United States it's typically disease found and places south of the U.S. it's a virus transmitted by mosquitoes and it can cause a really severe fever, muscle aches, joint pain, and sometimes even severe symptoms like shock.
Typically the only cases of we see in Kentucky are cases of those who have traveled and gotten from other places in the world.
The way to avoid getting dengue, a disease that if you are in an area with dengue, a virus is to protect yourself against mosquito bites, cover up when possible.
And if you can't cover up and wear mosquito repellent, things that contain DEET or picaridin, other really effective ways to prevent mosquito bites.
>> There has yet to be a case of dengue.

The CDC has confirmed cases in 6 of the 7 states surrounding the commonwealth, though experts suspect the virus is spreading its geographic reach because of climate change.
