Condoms, mosquito nets and finding the best insect repellent are on the radar for the New Zealand Olympic Committee as they prepare to combat the Zika virus at the Rio Games.
With 76 days until the opening ceremony, the NZOC has opted to provide medical-standard condoms rather than the anti-viral supersheaths deployed by their Australian counterparts.
The ABC reported Australians will be given condoms containing Vivagel, an anti-viral agent to combat Zika, which can be spread through sexual contact as well as mosquitoes.
According to the manufacturers, Vivagel disarms HIV, genital herpes and the human papillomavirus.
However, Dr Bruce Hamilton, who will lead New Zealand's medical operation at the Games, said they were sticking to the preventive steps advised by the World Health Organisation.
