The virus is spreading rapidly around the world, WHO has issued a state of emergency for this disease.

The most common complication in Zika virus is microcephaly in infants born to mothers infected with the virus during pregnancy (about 4,000 cases of microcephaly have been reported in Brazil, of which at least 40 deaths ) and the second complication is to cause Guillain-Barré nerve root inflammation syndrome, causing muscle weakness in hands and feet, tingling in hands and feet.

In Vietnam, there is a risk of outbreaks of Zika virus because the density of Aedes mosquitoes in the country transmitted dengue fever is relatively high, people are not immune and there are many countries around such as Thailand, Taiwan, Australia has recorded cases of epidemics, so the risk of entering Zika into Vietnam is huge.

Zika virus disease does not yet have specific medicines and vaccines, so the most effective preventive measure is to limit the transmission of the virus by killing mosquitoes, mosquitoes and larvae (larvae):

Recently, some countries have applied some measures to control and prevent Zika. One of those countries is China, with notifications being updated as follows:

1. In public and regional transport places as well as national and regional containers, effective measures to eliminate mosquitoes must be applied. In case of not applying mosquito treatment measures, the implementation of anti-mosquito treatment should be immediately monitored. Inspection and quarantine agencies need to carry out strict quarantine for vehicles, goods, luggage, containers, parcels, etc.

2. Port authorities need to take measures to eradicate, destroy mosquito breeding grounds, reduce mosquito density. The quarantine and immigration inspection agencies need to strengthen medical supervision at port to prevent Zika virus disease and other infectious diseases.
