The Zika virus outbreak in New Caledonia is ongoing. As of 3 February 2014, 49 cases have been laboratory confirmed. Of those, 30 gave a history of recent travel to French Polynesia, where an outbreak of Zika virus infection is also ongoing.
A number of the confirmed cases are considered to be locally transmitted in New Caledonia.
Avoidance of mosquito bites, particularly during daylight hours, by covering up with clothing, the use of bite avoidance measures such as repellent and bed nets is advised. Elimination of breeding sites around hotel rooms/houses is advised for longer term stays.
