The US has announced that it is transferring nearly $600 million which was leftover from the largely successful fight against Ebola to combat the growing menace of Zika virus.
Wednesday’s move came after the Republican-controlled Congress has not moved on the request of US President Barack Obama to provide it with USD 1.9 billion for activities that scientists and experts say are critically important to combating Zika.
