By Lee I-chia / Staff reporterThe Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has confirmed the nation’s seventh imported case of Zika virus infection in a 20-year-old woman from Singapore who arrived in Kaohsiung on Sept. 3. She began to suffer from rashes, joint pains, headaches and conjunctivitis on Sept. 1. The symptoms continued after she returned to Taiwan and she was diagnosed with Zika after visiting a hospital on Sept. 4 and Sept. 5. The CDC said the student is the youngest person infected with Zika in the nation so far, and an analysis of her activities suggests that she might have been infected in Singapore. Since returning to Taiwan, the woman had only been around her neighborhood in Kaohsiung and the hospital, it said.
