Bahamas Zika-free

With no reported cases for more than a year, the Bahamas have been declared free of the Zika virus by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The country is now listed as an “Area with Interrupted Transmission,” meaning that Zika had previously been present but is no longer found there. The CDC’s new designation indicates that women who are pregnant or couples who are planning to become pregnant may safely travel to the Bahamas.
