Here's what you need to know about the virus and the things you need to be concerned about.
What is Zika?
Zika is a mosquito-borne virus. It causes mild symptoms of fever, rash, joint pain and eye redness. About one in five people who are infected actually become sick.
How do you treat it?
There is no medication for the illness, and it typically clears up with rest and fluids within a week. The United States is currently pushing to develop a vaccine for Zika, though it’s unlikely to will be available during this current outbreak.
What should pregnant women do?
Pregnant women should postpone any travel to places where the Zika virus is currently of concern, the CDC says. If a pregnant woman must travel to one of these locations, they should consult with a health professional ahead of time, and follow recommendations to avoid mosquito bites, like using insect repellent, wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants and staying in places with air conditioning.
How can you play your part?
Do the 5-step Mozzie Wipeout to prevent the Aedes mosquito from breeding at home. Cooperate with the NEA, and allow its officers to inspect your premises for mosquito breeding and to spray insecticide to kill any mosquitoes.
Protect yourself from mosquito bites by applying insect repellent regularly.
