Cape Verde and Zika risk for pregnant women

Elmartino · 2025-10-28

Hi,

We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.

We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.

We’re thinking about canceling our trip.

If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?

Thanks

Hi, Of course, there's no such thing as zero risk, but there's no Zika here at the moment. And back then, it was only the Sotavento Islands. Marie
