All pregnant women to be tested for Zika virus June 6
- 1,519 cases of “suspected Zika fever” as of May 29
- 653 possible Zika: Kingston and St. Andrew
- 620 possible Zika in St Catherine
Note:
- A zika test only is useful if done within a week or so after a bite
Report does not indicate how many Zika tests there will be during each Jamacan pregnancy
9 tests if done only monthly for entire pregnancy (all Zika birth defects)
3+ tests if done only during first trimester (microcephaly) - So much for the Jamacan tourist trade for this season

"The tourism industry earns over 50 % of the country's total foreign exchange earnings and provides about 25% of all jobs in Jamaica." - Jamaca is very close to Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Florida
