Brazil Continues Battle Against Zika Virus Ahead Of Olympic Games
RECIFE, BRAZIL - MAY 30: A cyclist, motorcycles and cars pass through a flooded street after heavy rains on May 30, 2016 in Recife, Brazil. Lack of proper drainage in areas is one of many contributing factors leading to mosquito-borne illnesses in the city, including the Zika virus. Microcephaly is a birth defect linked to the Zika virus where infants are born with abnormally small heads. The city of Recife and surrounding Pernambuco state remain the epicenter of the Zika virus outbreak, which has now spread to many countries in the Americas. A group of health experts recently called for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games to be postponed or cancelled due to the Zika threat but the WHO (World Health Organization) rejected the proposal.
