CDC will support and help states with key tasks at different stages of the outbreak

Phase level 0 —signifying preparedness activity for when the vector is present or possible in the state—to level 4, when widespread local Zika infections are occurring is several jurisdictions within a state.  Most states are currently in phase 0 or 1, meaning Aedes mosquitoes are biting and travel-related or sexually transmitted cases have occurred.

Phase 2 would be a single locally acquired case or a case cluster in a single household.

Phase 3 consists of widespread local transmission contained to a 1-mile area

Phase 4 is widespread transmission in multiple locations.
