Oct 02, 2016

A 60-year-old woman in Kota Kinabalu has been confirmed as the 2nd Zika patient in Sabah, and the 7th in Malaysia. 

The Health Ministry says the patient, who developed symptoms a week ago, did NOT visit any Zika endemic countries, and neither did she meet with any Zika patients.

Tests on the patient's husband and children did not show any signs of infection.

Sabah's first case was a 61-year-old man who died of heart complications.
