After returning to her home near the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, the 58-year-old woman fell ill and was diagnosed with "suspected" Zika, based on a urine test. Malaysia's Health Ministry said five other Malaysians who live and work in Singapore were among the city-state's cases. Singapore said it had identified 22 new Zika cases in one particular area of the city and its first case involving a pregnant woman. Indonesia has not yet reported any local Zika infections but is now screening travellers from Singapore for the virus. Health Ministry spokesman Oscar Primadi said Thursday that health officials are recommending that the Foreign Ministry issue an advisory against nonessential travel to Singapore.
