Kusukela igciwane le-Zika eliphethwe omiyane liqala ukuba yizwi le-buzz (akukho pun okuhlosiwe), lesi simo siye sanda kuphela, ikakhulukazi ngama-Olimpiki aseRio aseduze. Ngenkathi izikhulu zixwayise abesifazane abakhulelwe ukuthi bagweme ukuya emazweni athile athinteka yiZika eLatin America naseCaribbean izinyanga, kusukela namhlanje, leli gciwane selibe yingxaki yokuhamba emakhaya.

Abasebenzi bezempilo e-U.S manje beluleka abesifazane abakhulelwe ukuthi bangayi endaweni yaseMiami (enyakatho yedolobha), lapho iZika isatshalaliswa omiyane njengamanje. Ngokuqondene nemibhangqwana ekhulelwe ehlala endaweni, i-CDC incoma ukuthi bagweme ukulunywa omiyane ngezingubo namabhulukwe anemikhono emide futhi basebenzise isixosha esine-DEET.

Lokhu kuza ngemuva kokuthi izikhulu zaseFlorida zikuqinisekisile ngesonto eledlule ukuthi abantu abane bangenwe yigciwane leZika omiyane bendawo - amacala okuqala aziwa ngegciwane asatshalaliswa omiyane ngaphakathi kwezwekazi laseMelika, kunokuba kube ngumphumela wokuhambela phesheya noma ocansini.

"I-Zika isifikile manje," kusho uThomas R. Frieden, umqondisi weCenters for Disease Control and Prevention, esithangamini sezindaba sangoLwesihlanu. Yize ekuqaleni uFrieden engazange abeluleke abesifazane abakhulelwe ukuthi bagweme ukuya kule ndawo, lesi simo sishube ngokushesha ngempelasonto, okwenza abaphathi bezempilo bashintshe ukushuba kwabo. Njengoba kumile nje, abantu abayi-14 kule ndawo njengamanje bangenwe yigciwane kusuka komiyane bendawo, okuletha inani eliphelele eliqinisekisiwe ezwenikazi lase-U.S. Kuze kube ngaphezu kuka-1,600 (kusukela ngoMeyi, lokhu bekubandakanya nabesifazane abakhulelwe abacishe babe ngama-300).

Abasebenzi bezempilo bebelokhu bengena indlu ngendlu endaweni yaseMiami beqoqa amasampula omchamo ukuhlola abahlali, kanti i-FDA imise ukunikela ngegazi eSouth Florida kuze kube iyakwazi ukuhlolelwa iZika. Ngemuva kokunconywa ngumbusi waseFlorida uRick Scott, i-CDC iphinde ithumele ithimba lezimo eziphuthumayo eMiami ukusiza umnyango wezempilo wombuso ngophenyo lwawo.

Ngenkathi abacwaningi bebekude babikezela ukuthi iZika izogcina ifinyelele ezwenikazi i-U.S. (Ngokunokwenzeka kakhulu ngasogwini lweGulf), iCongress isazophendula kulesi simo ngokunikeza imali ethe xaxa yokulwa nalesi sifo, esinokuxhumana okuqinisekisiwe nezinkinga ezinkulu zokuzalwa. USenator waseFlorida uMarco Rubio, ovotele isicelo soxhaso, unxusa iCongress ukuthi iphasise umthethosivivinywa wezimali ngo-Agasti, New York Times imibiko. Abenzi bomthetho abaxabene ngeminwe bangakwazi ukwenza izinto zabo ndawonye.
