The WHO dismissed the request, stating that "cancelling or changing the location of the 2016 Olympics will not significantly alter the international spread of Zika virus", and that there was "no public health justification" for postponing them.
世卫驳回了要求，指出“取消或改变2016年奥运会举办地不会明显改变茲卡病毒的国际传播”，也没有“公众健康原因”能推迟比赛。
