niman Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Risk to AlbertansThere is no risk that Albertans who are in the province will get Zika virus from a mosquito because the mosquitos that transmit Zika virus do not live in Canada due to the climate.There is a risk to Albertans of contracting Zika virus if they travel to countries where Zika virus circulates.There have been 4 lab-confirmed cases of Zika in Alberta, 1 in 2013 and 3 in 2016.All cases were acquired due to travel and the returning travellers do not pose a risk to public health in Alberta.http://www.health.alberta.ca/health-info/zika-virus.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
