The World Health Organization designated the Zika virus as a public health emergency of international concern.

The Business Travel Coalition (BTC) announced a new source for information on the Zika virus that is spreading rapidly across South and Central America. Its new Zika travel site is updated daily with fresh information on what the World Health Organization (WHO) yesterday designated as a public health emergency of international concern. The site is intended to help travel managers to be fully aware of the risk associated with overseas trips. According to the WHO, there could be four million Zika infections in the Americas alone, and the virus is believed to pose a particular risk to pregnant women and their babies.
