Message for U.S. Citizens: Revised CDC Travel Notice re: Zika Virus

Dated: March 28, 2016

The U.S. Embassy in Mexico City informs U.S. citizens that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a revised travel notice for Mexico regarding the Zika virus. Travel to elevations higher than 2,000 m (6,500 ft) above sea level is considered to have minimal likelihood for mosquito-borne Zika virus transmission, even within countries reporting active transmission. CDC recommends that women who are pregnant should not travel to areas that are at elevations less than 2,000 m above sea level in countries with ongoing Zika virus transmission. For general information about Zika, please visit the CDC website.
