The second Zika patient in China is recovering from the virus in quarantine. The 28-year-old was exposed to an infected person in Venezuela days before returning to Guangzhou February 9 via the Netherlands and Russia.
The patient reported a fever at Baiyun International Airport in Guangzhou. Officials say this case comes six days after the first case in China was detected.
The first patient with the virus was discharged from hospital Sunday after a full recovery in east China’s Jiangxi province.
Symptoms of the Zika virus, which spreads to people through mosquito bites, include fever, joint pain, a rash, conjunctivitis, headache and muscle pain.
