Zika Virus Prevention – What Can You Do?

Be A Careful Traveler

The best way to avoid the Zika virus is by avoiding areas that have had a lot of recent outbreaks. If a woman is pregnant, thinks they may be, or plans to be in the near future, staying away from infected areas is crucial in protecting not only her health, but her child's health as well. The Zika virus can be transmitted to the baby through the mother and cause severe congenital disabilities and health issues. Adjust any travel plans accordingly and avoid infected areas at all costs. If traveling must continue as planned, follow the previously listed tips for preventing mosquito bites.
