Pennsylvania officials are taking new steps to protect you and your family from the Zika virus.

The State Department of Health has put together special kits for pregnant women.

They include information about Zika, how it's spread, and how to avoid it.

Also in the kits is bug spray, and standing water tablets to kill mosquito larva.

Pregnant women can pick up the kits for free at health centers around the state.
