Vietnam has reported 93 Zika infection cases in nine localities nationwide so far this year, said Tran Dac Phu, head of the General Department of Preventive Medicine under Vietnam's Ministry of Health (MoH) on Monday.
Most Zika infections are found in southern Vietnam, and the disease has developed into a massive outbreak, said Phu on Vietnam's state-run news agency VNA.
Among Zika infected cases in Vietnam, a four-month-old kid suffering from microcephaly with possible link to Zika virus was recorded, said the official.
Forecasting that the number of Zika cases will be on the rise in the coming time, Phu said the MoH has built a plan to respond to the disease in three scenarios of no infiltration, penetration but scattering and outbreak.
Updates on the situation and warns have been continuously provided to local people, said Phu, adding that the current target is to minimize the spreading of Zika virus in the community and prevent Zika infection among pregnant women.
