Zika response plan

The Zika response plan focuses on preventing the spread of the Zika virus by controlling mosquito populations, informing the public about how to avoid bites, and providing testing and medical care to those infected. It also involves monitoring cases, coordinating healthcare resources, and conducting research. Officials work together to educate communities about eliminating mosquito breeding sites, such as standing water, and advise pregnant women on precautions to reduce risks of birth defects linked to Zika. Overall, the plan aims to reduce infections and protect public health through prevention, awareness, and coordinated response efforts.
