What Summer Travelers Need to Know about Zika

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
You’ve been hearing less and less about the Zika virus in the news, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take precautions this summer, especially if you’ll be traveling to South America.
Brazil has announced that the national emergency caused by Zika is over in their country. The number of Zika cases has dropped by 95 percent between January and April of this year, compared to the same time period in 2016. But that doesn’t mean the risk is over.
If a traveler returns with the virus from South America, an area prone to Zika, to an area in the Southeast where Zika-carrying Aedes aegypti mosquitos are present, then the local mosquito population can begin to carry and spread it.
