Do not Skip Rio Olympics over Zika Virus fears, experts advise Kenyan athletes

Kenyan athletes should not cancel their trip to the Olympic games in Brazil in August over the Zika virus pandemic, medical scholars at the University Of Nairobi have advised.

Early this month, National Olympic Committee chair Kipchoge Keino had expressed concerns about participation in the Olympics, saying Kenyan athletes may skip it if the mosquito-borne virus gets out of hand.
