Top 20 Countries Infected With Zika Virus
| August 19, 2016
Colombia
Colombia shares a border with Brazil, so it has been another top site of the Zika virus.
Although the risk of getting Zika is high in general, it can be minimized by traveling to areas that are high in elevation, such as the mountainous areas surrounding cities like Bogota and Medellin. Lowland areas along the coast should be avoided. Travelers are being urged not to engage in unprotected sex while in Colombia, to ensure that they aren’t passed the virus unknowingly by an infected partner.
