Abstract
Since the outbreak in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region in 2015-2017, the Zika virus (ZIKV) is present in most of tropical and sub-tropical countries. Herd immunity in LAC is now high and the number of cases is reduced. Consequently, the risk for a traveller to be infected is now considered to be low. The epidemiological change and the new published evidences have led to a revision of travel recommendations. Through practical cases, we present here the guidelines updated in April 2019 by the Swiss Expert Committee of Travel Medicine.
