The Australian government is telling its citizens not to let their guard down against mosquitos in Indonesia and is giving a reminder about the Zika virus in the country.
There has been “sporadic transmission” of the mosquito-borne virus, the government has warned.
“The overall level of advice has not changed. We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution in Indonesia, including Bali,” the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said on Friday, as quoted by the AAP.
Cases of the Zika virus have been reported in Indonesia and the disease is believed to have been in the region since the early 2000s.
