Neste momento, o consultor de viagens canadense alerta sobre o vírus Zika no República Dominicana, assim como o Reino Unido . Eles estão recomendando "precaução especial", que não é o nível mais alto de alerta, mas o suficiente para ser levado em consideração, aqui está o que eles dizem (ênfase minha)
It is recommended that pregnant women and those considering becoming pregnant discuss their travel plans with their health care provider to assess their risk and consider postponing travel to areas where the Zika virus is circulating in the Americas. If travel cannot be postponed then strict mosquito bite prevention measures should be followed to protect themselves against bites.
The Public Health Agency of Canada recommends that all travellers protect themselves from mosquito bites when travelling to areas where Zika virus is circulating. There is no vaccine or medication that protects against Zika virus infection.
