SINGAPORE: Singapore did not report any new cases of Zika virus on Tuesday, according to data published on National Environment Agency website.
Island city-state Singapore reported its first locally infected Zika patient on August 27 and since then, the number of reported infections has risen to 333.
While most people experience mild symptoms, Zika infections in pregnant women can cause microcephaly, a severe birth defect in which the head and brain are undersized. In adults, it can cause a rare neurological syndrome called Guillain-Barre.
