The Chinese Embassy in Singapore has said that 23 Chinese nationals in the country were confirmed to have contracted Zika virus.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that the symptoms of the affected Chinese nationals are “mild” and that some of them have recovered.
Singapore has been witnessing a spurt in Zika virus cases. By mid-day Thursday, more than 150 people, including two pregnant women, were tested positive.
More than half of the 115 Zika cases previously reported were detected in foreigners, mainly from China, India and Bangladesh according to international reports.
