World Health Organisation calls on countries to prepare as Zika virus expected to spread in Europe in late spring and summer

WHO calls on countries to prepare as Zika virus expected to spread to Europe - read the article.

Whilst there have been several news articles which include Madeira as a potential Zika outbreak location, few actually mention the control measures in place in Madeira, by both the national health authorities (DGS -Direcção Geral de Saude) who have created dedicated e-mail [email protected] and website as well as the regional health authorities who have also created a dedicated website where anyone can see the mosquito activity as per monitoring programme in place.

The epidemiology report through to the 16th week of 2016, identifies one potential dengue case - see report from IASAUDE or click below.

IASAUDE, the Regional Health Authority published the following on 18 May 2016

Madeira Autonomous Region follows all the World Health Organization recommendations in relation to the Zika virus spreading risk.
We are keeping a very close watch at the entomological and epidemiological level.
The risk of local transmission is small because the vector activity is low.
