China confirms 3rd case of Zika virus
Print Edition
CHINA yesterday confirmed a third imported Zika case, nine days after its first, according to the National Health and Family Planning Commission.
The 38-year-old male patient developed a fever after returning on Monday to Yiwu in east China’s Zhejiang Province from Fiji and Samoa.
The man, who said he had been bitten by mosquitoes, was quarantined and confirmed as being infected with the Zika virus yesterday. His temperature is now normal and his condition has improved, the commission said.
Symptoms of the Zika virus, which spreads to people through mosquito bites, include fever, joint pain, a rash, conjunctivitis, headache and muscle pain.
Disease prevention experts said the risk of the spread of the virus from this case is low due to the current low temperature which inhibits mosquito activity.
