  • The world will face a “severe public health crisis” if the Zika virus spreads beyond Latin America, the World Health Organization’s director general has said.

    Margaret Chan told a press conference that no one can currently predict whether the virus and its association with fetal malformations and neurological complications, asseen in Brazil and other parts of Latin America, will spread to other parts of the world.
