UK reports Zika cases as El Salvador urged to lift abortion ban over virus risk


Three British travelers have been infected with the Zika virus, health officials revealed this week.

"As of January 2016, three cases associated with travel to Colombia, Suriname and Guyana have been diagnosed in UK travelers," Public Health England said on its website.

The government agency did not provide further details about the cases but added that the virus "does not occur naturally in the UK."
Zika "is not spread directly from person to person," it said.
