The Hindu
State reported its first-ever case of the virus last week, with a 50-year-old patient from Purandar in Pune testing positive.
With Maharashtra reporting its first Zika virus case in Pune district, its Health Minister Rajesh Tope on Tuesday said all areas adjoining the tehsil where the case had emerged have been placed under strict surveillance to preclude a further spread of the virus. “Stringent surveillance in and around the areas from where the first case was reported will help ensure that the Zika cases do not spread any further,” he stated.More Related News
