An Ontario family that is out $3,500 and a trip to Jamaica say they regret not doing enough homework on the Zika virus before booking their trip knowing they were expecting a baby. They planned to travel to Jamaica for a week-long trip starting this Saturday. Assad's wife is 15 weeks pregnant and when she subsequently discussed the trip with her doctor, he advised against it because of the risk to the baby. Assad said he didn't know about the travel advisory for Jamaica, but Canadian airlines say it's up to travellers to be informed. Gary Howard, with CAA Atlantic, said his travel agents provide advice to people booking trips — especially young couples who are considering having children.
