<p>Public Health England (PHE) continue to monitor the situation closely and have
provided revised travel advice and updated guidance to healthcare professionals on
the management of patients returning from affected countries who present with symptoms.
There is no evidence to suggest that the mosquitos that are known to carry Zika are
established in the United Kingdom or could survive in our climate and therefore the
risk to the UK population from Zika is very low. PHE is in regular contact with specialists
in other European countries, as well as internationally, to make sure all necessary
steps are being taken to protect the UK travelling public.</p>
