South Korea will wear 'anti-Zika' uniforms to the Rio Olympics

One of the biggest concerns heading into the Rio Olympics is the Zika virus, and the South Korean Olympic team is doing everything it can think of to protect its athletes.

The country unveiled special uniforms infused with insect repellent in an attempt to ward off mosquitos. They also boast long sleeves and long pants in an aim to cover up as much skin as possible. According to U.S. News & World Report, South Korea's Olympic committee said their athletes will wear the special clothing during training sessions and the opening and closing ceremonies. The athletes are also supposed to wear the special clothes while hanging out in the athletes' village.

The uniform will only go so far, though, because athletes are not allowed to wear competition gear infused with bug spray. South Korean athletes will have to settle for spraying themselves with bug spray just like everyone else.

Although many athletes from different countries expressed concern over the Zika virus, other countries did not go to those lengths to protect their athletes with special clothing. The United States, for example, will wear shorts to the closing ceremony.
