Six people, including two pregnant women, have tested positive for the Zika virus in Pune. The infections were reported in Erandwane and Mundhwa areas. The pregnant women, aged 16 and 28 weeks, and other patients are in stable condition, health officials confirmed. Zika virus, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, poses risks of birth defects like microcephaly in the fetus. The Pune Municipal Corporation is implementing measures such as fogging and fumigation to control mosquito breeding and prevent further spread of the virus.
