No Zika Cases Reported During Rio Olympics, W.H.O. Says
No Zika infections were reported in Brazil during the Olympics, either among athletes or visitors, the World Health Organization said Friday.
The international health agency convened experts this week to decide whether the Zika virus remained a public health emergency. They voted yes, they announced at a news briefing Friday, in part because new infections had been reported in Singapore and Guinea-Bissau.
But one bright spot was the Olympics. Brazil presented data that the experts said had convinced them that no infections had occurred either during the Games or after visitors and athletes had returned to their home countries.
