Brazilian officials, including President Dilma Rousseff, took to the streets on Saturday for National Day Against Zika to raise awareness about the virus and ways to prevent it.

The government wrote in a press release:

The “National Day of Mobilization Zika Zero” will promote awareness in 350 municipalities, reaching approximately three million households across the country, with the participation of ministers of President Dilma Rousseff, health workers and 220 thousand soldiers.

Various politicians across the country made public appearances to raise awareness of Zika prevention techniques, including the elimination of still water pools and wearing long-sleeved clothing. Here, legislator Celina Leão meets her constituents.
