CDC has issued the following recommendations for athletes, international delegations and other visitors to Rio de Janeiro:
- Pregnant women should not travel to any area where Zika virus transmission is ongoing;
- travelers should take protective measures — including the use of insect repellent with active ingredients such as DEET, wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants, staying in areas that are air conditioned and have window and door screens, and sleeping under a mosquito net — to prevent mosquito bites while in transit and for 3 weeks after returning to their home country;
- travelers should prevent possible sexual transmission of Zika while attending the 2016 games and after returning home by correctly using condoms every time they have sex, or otherwise abstaining from sex;
- males should use condoms for at least 8 weeks after travel or, if symptomatic for Zika infection, for 6 months from the start of symptoms;
- after returning from a country with Zika transmission, men with pregnant partners should use condoms, or otherwise not have sex, for the duration of the pregnancy; and
- partners planning to try to become pregnant after attending the Rio games should wait at least 8 weeks, and 6 months if the male had symptomatic Zika infection.
