Public health authorities have assessed #risk to human #health in #Americas as very high, with a high risk of further spread. As of Aug 19, 24, #Brazil has reported 7653 cases, with authorities investigating potential vertical transmission in a few cases. In June, 24, a retrospective analysis detected IgM Abs in serum & CNS samples from 4 #newborns with #microcephaly.
