Share sensitive information only on official, secure websites. Check this page for information about countries and territories at risk for Zika virus transmission before you make travel plans. Since surveillance practices for Zika virus vary greatly among countries, CDC does not always have accurate information on the current risk of Zika virus transmission in many geographic areas. For this reason, countries and territories with current or past transmission are considered at risk for Zika virus transmission.
Before travel, visit CDC's Travelers' Health website for any active Zika Travel Health Notices and review the map below to determine if your destination has a risk of Zika virus transmission. Zika Travel Health Notices provide up-to-date information on known Zika virus outbreaks that may be occurring across the globe. Small island nations might not display on the map but data are included in the table above.
Some countries with temporally and geographically limited Zika virus transmission in the past may be classified as having no reported cases if they meet the following criteria: 1 had no confirmed locally acquired Zika virus disease cases for 12 months; 2 are located in a subtropic or temperate climate; and 3 have a comprehensive arboviral surveillance system, high capacity for diagnostic testing and consistent timely reporting of diagnostic results.
