Brazil has declared an end to a national emergency over the Zika virus after a sharp decrease in cases.
The number of reported incidents of the virus dropped 95% between January and April, compared to the same period a year ago, officials said.
The virus has been linked to the birth of babies with birth defects and the illnesses’ threat was at its peak as Brazil prepared to host the 2016 Olympics.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) lifted its own international emergency in November last year.
