MIAMI, Dhu-AlQa'dah 06, 1437, August 09, 2016, SPA -- Urging Congress to cut short its summer recess, Hillary Clinton called for emergency public health action Tuesday as she visited a Miami neighborhood dealing with the first U.S. outbreak of the Zika virus, according to AP. At a local health clinic, the Democratic presidential nominee said Republican congressional leaders should summon lawmakers back to Washington and immediately pass funding for the Zika response. Clinton said she was "very disappointed" that Congress left for recess without passing legislation. She spoke after touring the Borinquen Medical Center, a health clinic close to the Wynwood area where 21 non-travel related cases of Zika have been diagnosed. --SPA 00:42 LOCAL TIME 21:42 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
