Source: European Union, European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). Published: 10/16/2019. This eight-page report discusses a case of locally acquired Zika virus (ZIKV) disease in France (Hyères city, Var department). This risk assessment found that the probability of ongoing vector-borne local transmission in Hyères and surrounding areas is considered very low because current evidence does not indicate the existence of a more extensive cluster of Zika virus cases.
