The Minister of Cape Verde Health, Arlindo Rosario, revealed that three children were born with microcephaly under zika virus, one in March and two in May.

 

The three children born with microcephaly were resgistas on the islands of Santiago and Maio. The last two cases of microcephaly because of zika virus happened last month.

The revelation was made to the press by the Minister of Health and Social Security, Arlindo of the Rosary , which ensured that children and families are being followed.

This time according to the Minister of Health and Social Security are 394 pregnant women suspected of being infected with zika, but all have specialized monitoring.

Arlindo Rosario also said that, since 25 April, there is no record of any case of zika infection and mosquitoes analyzed are not infected.

 
 

The first cases of zika were recorded on the islands of Fogo, Santiago and Maio in September 2015 and amounted to health authorities last April 7,580 suspected cases as in reports our correspondent in Cape Verde, Odair Santos.
