Public health authorities in the Caribbean are working diligently to mitigate the effects of the Zika virus. Zika, also known as ZIKV, is spread primarily by the Aedes aegypti mosquito.

The public-sector-led Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) and its private sector counterpart, the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA) are in close contact with the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) to monitor and research the Zika cases that have now surfaced in some Caribbean destinations, and to communicate prevention and control measures to residents and visitors.

The CTO and CHTA are in communication with their respective stakeholders and are observing national, regional and international health protocols in dealing with mosquito-borne viral diseases which can be found in tropical countries.

With more than 700 islands in 30 territories in the Caribbean, conditions will vary from one nation to another.

CTO and CHTA will continue to monitor all developments related to mosquito-borne viral diseases and to support appropriate communication, education and prevention initiatives.

    Zika, just one of many attacks on our health to come in 2016. To view the rabbit hole, be informed that on January 22nd 2016, a biological weapons attack was made on Russia.

    Like Zika – the agents are viruses, are fatal and have no cure (as yet). Many have been fatally affected.

    To find out who did this and which country has the largest stockpile of biological warfare agents (this includes the patent for AIDS and EBOLA, check this out:

    May God in his wisdom save us from this evil and have no mercy on the perpetrators.

    The ‘scientists’ creating these viruses as the servants of the devil. Their ultimate plan is to destroy mankind on behalf of their master who was kicked out of heaven and as he will never be able to control us all, is keen to do his best to eradicate us to spite our creator, our Lord God.

    May they and their master burn in hell for the unspeakable evil they are doing.

    May Jesus Christ, the son of God, save Dominican and the world from these people.

        You think its funny for people sitting in the labs to create these viruses to kill us and then try to fool us that monkeys made them?

        You think that it’s a coincidence that Zika, like AIDS, is focussed on stalling reproduction which is the goal of the NWO’s plan to rid earth of all of us so as to achieve their target of ‘sustainable’ development?

        If you think that all this is a joke, you are probably a shill, or a very sick individual. In either case, you deserve to be one of the first to get a dose of what our self-appointed masters serving satan have in store for us.
