cases
× distributing mosquito spray at future local health
fairs
○ instituting a public ban on traveling to and from
zika-prone countries
○ instructing doctors to tell every patient not to travel

Explanation:

To address a doubling of Zika cases in three months, the immediate action should focus on gathering data to understand the outbreak better. Surveying and reporting cases helps track the situation, identify trends, and guide targeted interventions. Distributing spray at health fairs is a long - term or supplementary measure, a travel ban is extreme and not immediate for local cases, and telling every patient not to travel is not a practical or immediate public - health - wide solution.

Answer:

A. surveying and reporting the number of Zika - related cases
