רציתי לשאול האם קובה ומקסיקו מסוכנות בגלל נגיף הזיקה בהיריון?
אנחנו רוצים לטוס בעוד כחודשיים אבל אני לא רואה שום פרסום חדש אודות הנגיף באזורים האלו ..תודה

There is a risk of Zika virus (Zika) in the country you have selected. This means that mosquitoes there may be infected with Zika and spreading it to people.
Note: The mosquitoes that spread Zika usually do not live at altitudes above 6,500 feet (2,000 meters) because of environmental conditions. Check the map of areas with risk of Zika to see if your destination is above the altitude of 6,500 feet because you may be at minimal risk of getting Zika from a mosquito if you will only be in areas of high altitude.
About Zika
Many people infected with Zika virus do not get sick or only have mild symptoms. However, infection during pregnancy can cause severe birth defects. Because there is no vaccine or medicine for Zika, travelers should take steps to prevent getting Zika during travel. They should also take steps to prevent spreading it when they return home.
Read more about Zika below, or learn about other health and safety precautions at your next destination.
How is Zika virus spread?
Zika can spread several ways, including:
- Through the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on (bite) a person infected with the virus. Infected mosquitoes can then spread the virus to other people through bites.
- From a pregnant woman to her developing fetus, or at the time of birth, if the mother is infected with Zika during pregnancy.
- Through sex with a person who is infected with Zika. Zika can be sexually transmitted from an infected man or woman. But Zika can stay in a man’s semen longer than in a woman’s body fluids. Zika can stay in a man’s semen for months after infection and be transmitted through sex during that time.
See How Zika Spreads. Even if people with Zika do not have symptoms, they can still spread the virus.
