Wait till the Olympics in Brazil start and this virus will spread throughout the world when visitors go back to their country. It's an epidemic waiting to happen.

 

I saw a CNN report.

First case of locally-transmitted Zika virus infection reported in Singapore: MOH, NEA

 

SINGAPORE: A 47-year-old Malaysian woman living at Block 102 Aljunied Crescent is Singapore's first reported case of locally-transmitted Zika virus infection, the Ministry of Health and National Environment Agency said on Saturday (Aug 27).

 

As she had not travelled to Zika-affected areas recently, she was likely to have been infected in Singapore, MOH and NEA said in a joint news release.

 

According to MOH and NEA, the patient had developed symptoms such as fever, rash and conjunctivitis from Thursday. She visited a general practitioner on Friday and was referred to Tan Tock Seng Hospital’s Communicable Diseases Centre (CDC), where she tested positive for the Zika virus on Saturday.
