Answer

hi

The country is facing Zika and dengue crisis. They are still looking a cure for both (problems or viruses) that occurs in the country.

I don't know if Zika is a virus that's why I used problems but if both Zika and dengue are viruses then you can use viruses .

you must not be redundant in using some words helping and linking verbs
