The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has published two critical documents regarding the Oropouche Virus that are important for pregnant people to be aware of. The first, "Interim Guidance for Evaluation and Management of Infants Born to Pregnant People with Confirmed or Probable Oropouche Virus Disease," offers recommendations for healthcare providers caring for infants potentially exposed to the virus during pregnancy. The second document details recent Oropouche virus cases among U.S. travelers returning from Cuba, marking the first such cases reported. Pregnant individuals need to reconsider non-essential travel to areas under an Oropouche Level 2 Travel Health Notice, like Cuba, to prevent exposure.
