Brazil's Ministry for Health released a statement to The World Health Organisation citing "the decrease in cases of Zika and microcephaly throughout the country ".
According to the BBC, officials recorded 95% fewer cases between January and April than during the same period last year.
The illness has been linked to birth defects in countries across the globe.

The World Health Organisation lifted its own international emergency in November 2016.
