Two cases of patients infected with Zika while staying abroad were diagnosed in Israel this week. The patients are located in Rishon Letzion and Holon and received specific guidelines for conduct regarding the virus.
In recent months some 17 people who were infected with Zika came to Israel from abroad, and all of them have recovered. It should be noted that so far there has been no local transfer of the virus in Israel.
