Montenegro does not have the virus Zika

The Institute of Public Health reported that in Montenegro no cases of Zik virus infection are observed, and hopes for the continuation of this trend.

Zika virus already has a pandemic status and is actively spreading in African countries (Senegal, Uganda, Tanzania) and countries of southeast Asia (Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam), as well as cases of virus infection of Europeans who have returned from vacation or business trips from these countries. The virus is transmitted through mosquito bites and is expressed in excessive sensitivity to light during the incubation period, headache, joint pain, fever and a small rash in the body. The virus has not been studied yet and scientists do not know all its potential, however, it is considered a possible risk for a fetus whose mother is infected - there is a risk of death, microcephaly, psycho-neurological abnormalities and a number of other diseases. Despite the absence of a vaccine and any other recommended ways of treating it, no deaths have been recorded among adults.

The only way to prevent infection is to exclude trips to countries where the virus has already spread and to have physical contact with carriers.
