"No concern for now," MOH CEO on Zika virus in Samoa

"The first case that came out positive of Zika was in September last year, and we’ve been monitoring if it goes viral. However, since September no other cases have come up to this date," said Leausa Toleafoa Dr. Take Naseri.

"So this gap is too far for it to be epidemic, because when a virus is new, everyone is vulnerable, and by now we should have at least a hundred cases."

"There is no sign of an epidemic or widespread (cases), but that does not stop people from being aware and preparing," Leausa said.
