Clinic sees rise in people seeking Zika test

A leading travel health clinic has seen a rise in the number of people wanting to be screened for the Zika virus in the past month.

The medical director of Tropical Medical Bureau said they are testing three to five people a week for the virus. Others have also been phoning in looking for advice.

Young couples, in particular, who had holidayed in areas where there was evidence of mosquito-borne Zika virus are asking to be screened.
