The Cayman Islands have been removed from an advisory list, which warns travelers that there is a risk of local transmission of the Zika virus.

The jurisdiction was placed on the U.S-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) list last year when Grand Cayman reported local transmission of the virus.

There have been no locally transmitted cases of Zika this year and just one imported case in early February.

The Cayman Islands Public Health Department has been lobbying to be removed from the list for the last several months and it was confirmed on Friday, July 28, 2017, that this had been done.
