CDC Issues Urgent Guidelines Amid Oropouche Virus Surge

The CDC has issued urgent recommendations to prevent the spread of the Oropouche virus, which has seen 90 imported cases, primarily in Florida. Concerns about potential sexual transmission, especially among male travelers, have prompted guidelines urging the use of condoms or abstinence for six weeks post-symptoms. With over 10,275 cases reported this year, vigilance is crucial for travelers in affected regions. The situation is compounded by the emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms, highlighting the need for stringent infection control.
