UN health agency panel sees 'very low' risk of Zika spread from Olympics
14 June 2016 – An expert panel of the World Health Organization ( WHO ) today concluded that while the Zika virus and its associated disorders continue to be a public health emergency of international concern, there is a “very low” risk of further international spread of the virus as a result of the upcoming Olympic Games.
(...) The Committee was also tasked with considering the potential risks of Zika transmission for mass gatherings, including the Olympic and Paralympic Games scheduled for August and September, respectively, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
(...) “The Committee concluded that there is a very low risk of further international spread of Zika virus as a result of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, as Brazil will be hosting the Games during the Brazilian winter when the intensity of autochthonous transmission of arboviruses, such as dengue and Zika viruses, will be minimal and is intensifying vector-control measures in and around the venues for the Games, which should further reduce the risk of transmission,” WHO added.
