South China's Guangdong Province reported a new Zika case Sunday, bringing the total number of imported infections in the province to 12.
A 37-year-old male, a Chinese citizen residing in Venezuela, developed a skin rash and a fever after returning to Enping City on April 28 and tested positive for the virus Saturday, the health and family planning commission of Guangdong said.
He is currently isolated in hospital and receiving treatment.
The World Health Organization declared a global emergency in February amid a Zika outbreak in Central and South America. China has also been on alert as the warming weather may facilitate the spread of the mosquito-borne virus.
Symptoms of Zika include fever, joint pain, rash, conjunctivitis, headache and muscle pain.
