Can I have information about these countries and Zika as well as the risks for the fetus?

The information provided by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention states that there is currently no active Zika outbreak reported in the Dominican Republic and surrounding countries. However, the risk cannot be considered zero due to the presence of mosquitoes that can potentially carry the disease. It is recommended to take constant chemical and physical protection against mosquitoes during travel and for three weeks afterward. If traveling with a partner, it is advised to wait three months before engaging in unprotected sexual intercourse, even if there are no symptoms present. More information can be found on the CDC website.
