Zika infections are expected to continue rising in the Asia-Pacific region, where authorities are increasing surveillance, preparing responses to complications and collaborating on information about the disease, the World Health Organization said Monday. “We are now facing an outbreak of Zika virus which has affected several countries to the extent that the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared it as a public health emergency,” His Royal Highness said.
The World Health Organization warns that the Zika virus will continue to spread across Asia with cases already reported in Singapore and Thailand.
