U.N. health officials say they have not confirmed any laboratory cases of the Zika virus in athletes or anyone else associated with the Olympics, which concluded Sunday.
The U.N.'s World Health Organization made the announcement in a status update on the virus, which can cause birth defects.
That's surprising, perhaps, given all the dire predictions before the games about how the Olympics might help spread the mosquito-borne virus. Many athletes, including NBA stars and professional golfers, skipped the games because of the Zika epidemic in Brazil. And Brazilians jeered some athletes (such as Hope Solo) in Rio who had publicly expressed concerns about the virus.
