Travelling safely: A bunting at KLIA’s departure hall urging Malaysians going abroad to countries affected by Zika virus to take precautions.

PUTRAJAYA: As with dengue, the better way to prevent Zika is to destroy the Aedes mosquito which is a carrier for both viruses, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam.

He said this was a more effective method to stop it spreading than checking people’s body temperature as they entered the country.
