Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Health Ministry workers participate in a day of mosquito spraying to prevent the spread of the Zika Virus.
Concerns about the mosquito-borne Zika virus have escalated – both among those who may be traveling to affected areas, but also now locally, where three cases were recently identified. We speak with a health department official about risks and testing, and we hear from an entomologist about prevention and the local mosquitoes which carry the virus.
