Zika Virus ne Nyinsɛn: Nneɛma 5 a Ɛsɛ sɛ Wuhu!

Ebia woate Zika mmoawa no ho asɛm nnansa yi. Titiriw sɛ woyɛ ɛna a wobɛyɛ ɛna anaasɛ woanyinsɛn dedaw a, eyi betumi ayɛ hu kakra. Ɛyɛ biribi a ɛsɛ sɛ ɛhaw yɛn ho ankasa. Nanso mma ɛnhaw wo, sɛ wɔbɔ yɛn amanneɛ yiye na yɛtu anammɔn a ɛho hia a, yebetumi abɔ yɛn ho ban afi asiane yi ho. Enti ɛnnɛ, momma yɛnka nea Zika yɛ, nkɛntɛnso a ebetumi anya wɔ ɛnanom a wɔyem ne nkokoaa so, ne sɛnea yebetumi abɔ yɛn ho ban afi ho.

Sɛ yɛbɛka no tiawa a, Zika yɛ mmoawa a nwansena ka wɔn. Saa mmoawa yi apaepae wɔ wiase nyinaa, titiriw wɔ aman a ɛhɔ yɛ hyew, kyerɛ sɛ, aman a wim tebea yɛ hyew te sɛ yɛn de no mu. Nnipa pii nkyerɛ yare no ho sɛnkyerɛnne biara bere a wɔanya saa mmoawa yi no. Wonnim mpo sɛ wɔwɔ mmoawa no. Nanso, ebinom betumi anya yare no ho sɛnkyerɛnne a emu nyɛ den te sɛ atiridiinini, akisikuru, nkwaa mu yaw, ne aniwa a ɛyɛ kɔkɔɔ. Nanso, ɔhaw no ne sɛ, sɛ mmoawa yi fi ɛna mu kɔ akokoaa mu bere a wɔyem a, tebea horow a emu yɛ den betumi aba. Ɛno nti na yɛreka eyi ho asɛm titiriw no. Vaccine anaa ayaresa pɔtee biara nni hɔ a wɔde bɛyɛ eyi de besi nnɛ. Enti, ade a eye sen biara a ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ ne sɛ wubesiw ano.

## 1. So ɛsɛ sɛ mmea a wɔyem ne wɔn a wɔreyɛ nhyehyɛe sɛ wobenyinsɛn no kwati sɛ wobetu kwan akɔ mmeae a Zika wɔ?

Yiw, akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ eyi ne ade a edi kan na ɛho hia sen biara a ɛsɛ sɛ wususuw ho. Sɛ mprempren woanyinsɛn anaasɛ woreyɛ nhyehyɛe sɛ wobɛwo akokoaa ntɛm a, kwati sɛ wobɛtu kwan akɔ mmeae a wɔbɔ amanneɛ sɛ Zika mmoawa no retrɛw, titiriw wɔ amannɔne aman mu, sɛnea wubetumi biara.

Dɛn nti na meka saa? Efisɛ, sɛnea madi kan aka no, sɛ Zika mmoawa yi fi ɛna mu kɔ akokoaa mu bere a wanyinsɛn a, hokwan kɛse wɔ hɔ sɛ akokoaa no benya awo mu dɛmdi a emu yɛ den a wɔfrɛ no microcephaly . Sɛ yɛbɛka no tiawa a, microcephaly kyerɛ sɛ akokoaa no ti ne n’amemene nyin yɛ ketewaa koraa sen sɛnea na wɔhwɛ kwan. Wo de susuw sɛnea ɛno bɛka akokoaa no nkwa nna nyinaa ho hwɛ. Ɛnyɛ ɛno nko, na mmom saa mmoawa yi betumi de akwahosan ho haw afoforo a emu yɛ den aba akokoaa no so, te sɛ n’ani a enhu ade yiye, n’aso a ɛyɛ den, ne akisikuru.

Afei ebia worebisa wo ho sɛ, "Mɛyɛ dɛn ahu aman ne mpɔtam a Zika mmoawa no wɔ ankasa?" Ɛno nti na amanaman ntam akwahosan ahyehyɛde ahorow te sɛ CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) wɔ United States no . Wɔtaa tintim aman ne mmeae a mmoawa no retrɛw wom no ho nsɛm wɔ wɔn wɛbsaet ahorow so. Ansa na wubetu kwan, titiriw sɛ worekɔ amannɔne a, hwɛ hu sɛ wobɛhwehwɛ obi a wotumi de ho to so. Wubetumi nso abisa wo duruyɛfo no eyi ho asɛm. Mfa eyi nyɛ hwee.

## 2. Sɛ metu kwan kɔ ɔman a Zika mmoawa no yɛ adwuma mu a, dɛn na ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ? So ɛsɛ sɛ misusuw nna mu akwahosan nso ho?

Eyi nso yɛ asɛm a ɛho hia paa. Fa no sɛ wo anaa wo hokafo no atu kwan akɔ ɔman bi a wonim sɛ Zika mmoawa no retrɛw mu. Sɛ ɛba saa a, sɛ woreyɛ nhyehyɛe sɛ wobɛwo akokoaa a, ɛbɛyɛ nea nyansa wom sɛ wobɛtwe adwene no akɔ akyiri kakra.

Dɛn nti na ɛte saa? Ɛnyɛ nwansena nko na wobetumi de Zika mmoawa no afi onipa biako mu akɔ foforo mu, na mmom ɛnam nna mu nso. Eyi yɛ biribi a nnipa pii nte ase yiye. Wei kyerɛ sɛ, sɛ wo hokafoɔ barima no firi beaeɛ a Zika wɔ a, ebia ɔwɔ mmoawa no wɔ ne nipadua mu, sɛ mpo onni sɛnkyerɛnne biara a. Sɛ wo ne obi da saa bere no a, wubetumi nso anya mmoawa no. Sɛ wonyinsɛn saa bere no a, nea ebefi mu aba no betumi ayɛ asiane kɛse.

Enti, dɛn na ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ?

• Sɛ woanyinsɛn dedaw, na wo anaa wo hokafo barima atu kwan akɔ baabi a Zika asiane wɔ hɔ a, fa kɔndɔm di dwuma bere a worenya nna mu kyɛfa wɔ wo nyinsɛn no nyinaa mu. Anaasɛ, ɛyɛ nea asiane biara nni ho sɛ wobɛkwati nna koraa bere a wonyinsɛn no.
• Sɛ ɔbea no nkɔsra beae a ɛte saa mpo a, afotu yi fa ho, nanso ɔhokafo a ɔyɛ ɔbarima no nkutoo na ɔkɔɔ hɔ.
• Sɛ mpo monyɛ nhyehyɛe sɛ mobɛnyinsɛn a, sɛ mo mu biara atu kwan akɔ beaeɛ bi a Zika wɔ a, sɛ wode kɔndɔm di dwuma wɔ nna mu anyɛ yie koraa no asram 3 a, ɛbɛboa ama mmoawa no ntrɛmu so ate. Ɛnyɛ wo nko na eyi bɛbɔ ho ban na mmom ɔmanfo nso.

Ebia nsɛm yi bɛyɛ nea ɛyɛ nkate kakra, nanso ɛho hia yiye sɛ wudi akyi ma wo ho, w’abusua, ne titiriw no wo ba a ɔhyɛ yafunu mu no ahobammɔ.

## 3. Dɛn na wubetumi ayɛ de abɔ wo ho ban afi nwansena ho?

Nwansena yɛ ɔhaw kɛseɛ wɔ yɛn man yi mu. Nwansena nso trɛw nyarewa te sɛ dengue. Nwansena a wɔtrɛw Zika mmoawa no mu nso te mmeae koro yi ara. Enti, sɛ wote beae a Zika mmoawa no yɛ adwuma, anaasɛ woatu kwan akɔ beae a ɛte saa a, ɛsɛ sɛ wobɔ mmɔden biara sɛ wobɛbɔ wo ho ban afi nwansena ho.

Nneɛma bi a wubetumi de ayɛ ni:

• Hyɛ ntade a nsa tenten ne pantalon atenten a ɛkata wo nipadua no fã kɛse so sɛnea wubetumi. Hwɛ yiye wɔ eyi ho titiriw anɔpa, anwummere, ne anadwo bere a nwansena yɛ nnam kɛse no.
• Ɛyɛ papa sɛ wode nwansena asau bɛhyɛ wo fie mfɛnsere so. Anyɛ saa a, bɔ mmɔden sɛ wobɛtra mmeae a mframa a wɔde yɛ adwuma wɔ hɔ.
• Fa aduru a wɔde pam nwansena a wɔkamfo kyerɛ sɛ asiane biara nni ho ma mmea a wɔyem di dwuma. Eyinom wɔ nnurutɔnbea ahorow. Nanso, ansa na wode bedi dwuma no, bisa sɛ ɛyɛ nea asiane biara nni ho mma mmea a wɔyem anaa. Wɛbsaet ahorow te sɛ U.S. Asoɛe a Ɛhwɛ Nneɛma a Atwa Yɛn Ho Ahyia So (EPA) wɔ eyi ho nsɛm.
• Yi nsu a ɛtɔ gu hɔ no fi hɔ.Eyi yɛ biribi a yɛyɛ nso de ko tia dengue. Ɛsɛ sɛ mmofra hohoro aguaree, nkuku a ɛwɔ nhwiren nkuku ase, tae dedaw, ne ɔdan atifi nsukorabea ahorow ho daa na amma nsu anboaboa ano. Nwansena to nkesua wɔ mmeae te sɛ eyinom.

Sɛ wodi saa nneɛma yi akyi yiye a, asiane a ɛwɔ hɔ sɛ obi benya Zika mmoawa no afi nwansena a wɔaka mu no so betumi atew kɛse.

## 4. Me nyinsɛn, ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ Zika nhwehwɛmu?

Eyi nso haw nnipa pii. Sɛ woanyinsɛn na woatu kwan akɔ anaa wote baabi a Zika mmoawa no yɛ adwuma a, ebia ɛbɛyɛ nea nyansa wom sɛ wobɛyɛ Zika nhwehwɛmu wɔ tebea horow bi mu.

Wo ne wo duruyɛfoɔ nkasa fa sɛnea wobɛyɛ Zika nhwehwɛmu ho sɛ wo:

• Sɛ wowɔ Zika ho sɛnkyerɛnne (te sɛ atiridiinini, akisikuru, nkwaa mu yaw, aniwa kɔkɔɔ).
• Sɛ ultrasound a wɔyɛ wɔ wo nyinsɛn mu kyerɛ sɛ wo ba no wɔ ɔhaw bi a ɛfa Zika ho a.
• Sɛ wo hokafo barima no atra anaa watu kwan akɔ beae bi a Zika mmoawa no yɛ adwuma a.

Sɛ wote beae a Zika mmoawa no yɛ adwuma, anaasɛ wotaa tu kwan kɔ mmeae a ɛtete saa a, nnuruyɛfo nso kamfo kyerɛ sɛ wɔnyɛ Zika nhwehwɛmu wɔ nsɛm a edidi so yi mu:

• Bere biara a wubenya yare no ho sɛnkyerɛnne.
• Wɔ wo nsrahwɛ a edi kan a wobɛhwɛ ansa na woawo no mu.
• Afei, wɔ mprenu bio wɔ nyinsɛn mu, wɔ ayaresabea ahorow a wɔyɛ no daa ansa na wɔawo wɔn.

Wo duruyɛfo bɛka nhwehwɛmu ahorow yi ho nsɛm pii akyerɛ wo. Mma w’ankasa nsi gyinae da. Gyina aduruyɛ mu afotu so yɛ biribiara.

## 5. Nea ɛho hia sen biara: Wo ne wo duruyɛfo nkasa!

Adeɛ a ɛho hia paa a yɛaka ho asɛm ne sɛ wo ne wo duruyɛfoɔ bɛkasa pefee wɔ nsɛm biara a ɛhaw wo anaa nsɛmmisa biara a wowɔ ho. Akokoaa ne nyinsɛn ho nhyehyɛe yɛ ankorankoro osuahu ahorow ankasa. Ebia wo tebea ne nneɛma a ɛde wo asiane ba no bɛyɛ soronko wɔ afoforo ho. Enti, mfa wo ho nto nea wote wɔ Intanɛt so anaa ahɔho nkyɛn kɛkɛ, na mmom kɔ w’ankasa wo duruyɛfo nkyɛn.

Akwahosan ho abenfo reyɛ Zika mmoawa no ne nkɛntɛnso a enya wɔ ɛnanom ne nkokoaa so no mu nhwehwɛmu bere nyinaa. Bere a nsɛm foforo renya no, aduruyɛ ho akwankyerɛ betumi asesa. Wubetumi akɔ so anya nsɛm foforo denam wɛbsaet ahorow te sɛ CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) a wobɛhwɛ so . Nanso, ɛho hia sɛ wo ne wo duruyɛfo susuw saa nsɛm yi ho na wusi sɛnea wode bedi dwuma wɔ ɔkwan a ɛfata wo so ho gyinae.

Kae sɛ ɛnyɛ wo nko ara. Wo duruyɛfo ne akwahosan ho adwumayɛfo afoforo wɔ hɔ sɛ wɔbɛboa wo. Wo ne wɔn nkasa a wunsuro na wunnye akyinnye.

## Nkrasɛm a Wɔde Kɔ Fie

Okay, enti momma yɛmmɔ nea yɛaka ho asɛm no mua kakra. Ɛho nhia sɛ yesuro Zika mmoawa no, nanso ɛsɛ sɛ yɛhwɛ yiye.

1. Akwantuo: Sɛ woanyinsɛn anaa woreyɛ nhyehyɛe sɛ wobɛnyinsɛn a, kwati sɛ wobɛtu kwan akɔ mmeaeɛ a Zika wɔ hɔ. Sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wutu kwan a, wo ne oduruyɛfo nkasa na yɛ ahwɛyiye.

2. Fa nna a ahobammɔ wom di dwuma: Fa kɔndɔm di dwuma sɛ wo anaa wo hokafo akɔ baabi a Zika asiane wɔ hɔ a. Hwɛ yiye titiriw sɛ woanyinsɛn a.

3. Bɔ wo ho ban fi nwansena ho: Kata wo nipadua so, fa nnuru a wɔde pam nwansena di dwuma, na ma nneɛma a atwa wo ho ahyia no ho ntew. Te sɛ nea wobɛbɔ wo ho ban afi dengue ho no ara pɛ.

4. Aduruyɛ mu nhwehwɛmu: Sɛ wowɔ sɛnkyerɛnne ahorow na woakɔ baabi a asiane wɔ a, yɛ Zika nhwehwɛmu sɛnea wo duruyɛfo kyerɛ wo no.

5. Aduruyɛ ho afotu: Nea edi kan koraa no, wo ne wo duruyɛfo nkasa. Ɔde afotu a eye sen biara bɛma wo.

Ɛmmra sɛ saa nneɛma yi mma wo ahoɔden a wode bɛyɛ ɛna a ɔwɔ apɔwmuden na ɔwɔ anigye!
