Rio organizers: Zika outbreak will not affect Olympics
Rio 2016 organizers have held a media briefing at the Olympics headquarters amid growing worries over the spread of the Zika virus.
With just over six months to go till the games open in Brazil, the organizing committee insisted that the upcoming event won't be affected by the outbreak of the disease.
They tried to assure the media that they are taking every necessary measure to combat the Zika virus.
The press conference came a day after the World Health Organization declared that a disease linked to the virus constituted a global public health emergency.
The organizers and Rio's health officials emphasized that they would follow the guidelines issued by international and local authorities.
