EMS Providers should be educated about what to look for in a Zika infected patient, though there are no immediate concerns and no isolation is required. Pregnant patients that are encountered should be asked about travel history in Zika infected areas during their pregnancy and any positive information should be relayed to the treating facility. Persons presenting to EMS with symptoms consistent with a Zika infection should be asked about their travel history and this information conveyed to hospital personnel. For more information on the Zika virus specific to EMS, visit the FirstWatch Health Intelligence page.
