In accordance to the World Health Organization (WHO), the Zika virus is here to stay. And with people planning their winter holidays, travelers are being suggested to pack bug spray and long sleeve clothing for Zika Virus Prevention.
Travelers are busy searching for last minute vacation plans.
Deanna Sutherland Rigby from Vision Travel claims that the warmer destinations are the most famous this time of year.
“Dominican, Cuba, Mexico and other southern Caribbean Islands.”
They are also regions with the highest threats of contracting Zika.
Sutherland Rigby states that while it’s not top of mind for several vacationers it has been a subject of discussion this season.
Numerous cases of Zika Virus have now been pointed out in about fifty countries.
“You actually cannot go anywhere now that there is not Zika virus.”
Dr. Fiona Hunter is studying and researching how the virus spreads to mosquitoes. She travelled to the region of Brazil recently, another hot place for the virus, and even plans on taking her family to the Dominican Republic this year.
“This is the latest normal- having Zika virus in the side of south and if you do select to go somewhere you’ve to look after yourself.”
She recommends vacationers to bring bug spray with them because few places do not sell them.
In accordance to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, mosquitoes that spread Zika do not live at elevations above 2000 meters.
Dr. Hunter claims that there is yet a lot not known about Zika, which has been associated to severe and extreme birth defects.
In accordance to Dr. Brett Belchetz, anybody out there who is either not pregnant or not planning on getting pregnant – Zika virus is actually nothing to stress about.
Males and females are emphasized to practice safe sex for 6 months after travelling to Zika infected places for the sake of Zika Virus Prevention.
