Calls to postpone Rio Olympics over Zika outbreak dismissed by WHO on HWN ZIKA VIRUS UPDATE
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has rejected calls to move or postpone this summer’s Rio Olympic Games over the Zika epidemic.
The global health body said that the call would “not significantly alter” the spread of the virus, which is linked to serious birth defects.
At least 100 prominent scientists said in an open letter to WHO that new findings about the Zika virus made it “unethical” for the games to go ahead.
The experts have also asked the global organisation to revisit its Zika guidance.
The mayor of Rio said disease-carrying mosquitoes were being eradicated.
The officials were responding to an open letter by scientists saying it was “unethical” for the Games to go ahead.
The letter also said the global health body should revisit its Zika guidance.
The Zika virus is linked to severe birth defects.
Between February and April, Brazil registered more than 90,000 likely cases of Zika. The number of babies born with Zika-linked defects stood at 4,908 in April.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has said it sees no reason to delay or move the Games because of the mosquito-borne disease.
