Brazil Continues Battle Against Zika Virus Ahead Of Olympic Games

RECIFE, BRAZIL - MAY 31: Babies with microcephaly David Henrique Ferreira (R) and Sofia Valentine (L) are tested with new glasses with their mothers Mylene (R) and Vera on May 31, 2016 in Recife, Brazil. Microcephaly is a birth defect linked to the Zika virus where infants are born with abnormally small heads. Vision problems have been reported in some of the infants as well. The city of Recife and surrounding Pernambuco state remain the epicenter of the Zika virus outbreak, which has now spread to many countries in the Americas. A group of health experts recently called for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games to be postponed or cancelled due to the Zika threat but the WHO (World Health Organization) rejected the proposal. The Olympic torch passed through Recife today. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
