An outbreak of Zika fever has been reported in India.
This is a dangerous disease carried by mosquitoes.
As foreign websites write, more than 90 people contracted the infection in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
Most cases of the disease were recorded in the city of Kanpur.
The first case was reported at the end of October, and the number of cases is constantly growing. There are children among the sick.
All infected people are in hospitals.
For India, Zika fever is a new disease – previously outbreaks were recorded only in African countries.
In India, the first case of Zika virus was reported in 2017.
The new outbreak is associated with the beginning of the rainy season, when the number of mosquitoes increases sharply.
