4 Cases Of Zika Virus confirmed in UK
A public health doctor in England, Dilys Morgan, said four
“travel-associated” cases of the virus had been found in the last six
weeks.
The main concern surrounding the virus is a possible link between the
virus and a rise in cases of microcephaly, a birth defect characterised
by an abnormally small head that can result in developmental problems.
The virus is spreading rapidly through Latin America and most people who contract it have either mild or no symptoms.
The World Health Organisation declared Zika a global emergency last month, with some countries discouraging nationals from travelling to Latin American counties.
When will this scourge be over?
