Brazil Looking to Fight Zika Virus Ahead of 2016 Rio Olympics

The Zika virus, spread by mosquitos, has been running rampant in Brazil recently and the International Olympic Committee as well as the hosts for the 2016 Rio Olympics are looking at ways to fight the virus ahead of this August according to Inside the Games.

“Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has vowed to wage a “house-by-house fight” against the virus ahead of the Olympics and the IOC’s Medical and Scientific Commission”

“In general, the Brazilian authorities are taking significant steps to deal with Zika, as they have recently announced that over 200,000 members of the armed forces and health workers will be engaged across the country, going from house to house to distribute leaflets and dispense advice about how to combat the mosquitos and the virus,” IOC Medical and Scientific Commission Chair Ugur Erdener told Inside the Games.

Erdener also explained that plenty of health-based measures have been put into place even prior to the introduction of the Zika virus.
