Does anyone have any information as to whether there is any reports of Zika in Mauritius or know where I can go to get some valid and trust worthy information?
My daughter is 3 months pregnant and is looking at booking in the next month to travel in April.
Little nervous so any advice would be welcome.

According to the WHO there have been no reported cases of the Zika virus in Mauritious - it falls into the category of having mosquitoes that could transmit it but there is no evidence that that they are infected with it.

This is a US Government site with very comprehensive information including a map of risk areas and Mauritious is in the lowest category ie e same one as the UK.

And the FCO doesn't list it as a health risk in their travel advice, just Dengue fever

Hi SMa
Many many thanks for your reply will take a look at the links. Hugely appreciated.
From what I have read elsewhere the sensas seems to be the risk is low to nothing.
They originally wanted to go to the Carribean but that seems completely off the table âšī¸
