Olympics unlikely to worsen global spread of ZikaPeople visiting Brazil for the 2016 Olympics won't significantly add to the global spread of Zika virus, according to a new analysis. The risk of spread of Zika from the Olympics is relatively low when compared to the spread from normal tourism, he added. In those countries, the main concern is sexual transmission of Zika virus, the researchers write. Most likely, only six to 80 people visiting Brazil for the Olympics would be infected with Zika virus, and between one and 16 would feel any symptoms, researchers suggest. Many visitors will return to countries where it's unlikely the virus will be spread by mosquitoes.
