The Colombian national health institute has revealed that more than 2,100 pregnant women in the country have been infected with the mosquito borne Zika virus, as the disease continues to spread across America.


The Daily Star reported that the virus has been linked to the devastating birth defect microcephaly, which prevents foetus brains from developing properly as there is no vaccine to it.


The Government has urged women to delay pregnancy for six to eight months to avoid potential infection.
