The World Health Organization (WHO) declared an end to its global health emergency over the spread of the Zika virus on Friday,
prompting dismay from some public health experts confronting the epidemic. An agency advisory committee said it ended the emergency—formally known as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern—because Zika is now shown to be a dangerous mosquito-borne disease, like malaria or yellow fever, and should be viewed as an ongoing threat met as other diseases are, sometimes with WHO help. – “Zika Is No Longer a Global Emergency, WHO Says,”
Donald G. McNeil Jr.
Why would public health experts be worried about this declaration from the World Health Organization?
People will let their guard down and not take precautions to prevent the spread of the Zika virus.
People will no longer be infected with the Zika virus but will seek health care anyway.
More money will be spent on discovering a Zika vaccine instead of more serious diseases.
Communities will promote health awareness outreach about Zika transmission.
People will let their guard down and not take precautions to prevent the spread of the Zika virus.
