The Ministry of Health in Jamaica is urging people to be more vigilant and take their responsibility as citizens seriously by cleaning up their environment and destroying mosquito breeding sites.
The ministry’s plea follows the announcement by the Caribbean Public Health Agency yesterday that the Zika virus has been detected in the Caribbean.
The symptoms of Zika virus include fever, muscle and joint pain, headache, nausea, eyeball pain, inflammation of the eye, vomiting, diarrhoea or abdominal pain, weakness, swelling of the lower limbs and rash consisting of small bumps. Symptoms last approximately four to seven days.
