The Zika virus may be transmitted to countries where dengue fever exists and preparatory measures needed to be taken, according to Ministry of Health.
“Mosquitoes that carry dengue fever and the Zika virus are the same and so we need to take precautions across the country. People are used to dengue and they aren’t afraid of it. But another virus might come. We need to promote the importance of cleanliness in our surroundings. Pregnant woman can give birth to babies with a small brain or no brain at all. We have to take preparatory measures,” said Dr Khin Nan Lone of the Department of Health. (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
