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. Zika 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.
