Zika outbreak

Zika virus likely to spread across Asia, says WHO

Hundreds of cases of the virus have been reported in Singapore while two cases of Zika-linked microcephaly haveĀ already been confirmed in Thailand.

The mosquito-borne virus has been detected in 70 countries worldwide, at least 19 in the Asia Pacific region.

WHO director Margaret Chan said experts were still looking for ways to deal with the virus.
