New Zika Guidelines
The World Health Organization out with a new recommendation about protection from Zika.
FOX’s Eben Brown reports from Miami:
Much of the concern of the spread of Zika virus is focused on mosquito transmission, but public health officials around the world believe Zika spreads also through sexual contact.
There had been a general warning that anybody who might be infected wait eight weeks before having unprotected sex or trying to get pregnant. Now, the World Health Organization is saying one should wait six months after travel to a Zika-infested area, even if no symptoms are present.
Zika causes only mild illness in adults, but will cause severe brain and head defects to babies in the womb.
