ZIKA RESOURCES
CLICK to go back to the HELP page
Zika was very topical in the news in 2016 and while not as much talked about, it remains an important subject. The advice we need to give travellers going to Zika endemic areas remains very important so in April 2019 I moved this page from ‘Hot Topics’ to a resource page within the HELP resource.
