Singapore's Ministry of Health (MOH) today confirmed that foreigners account for 57 of 115 Zika cases in Singapore so far, including 23 from China's mainland and one from Taiwan, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
MOH added that all of the 57 foreigners who tested positive for Zika in Singapore had "mild illness" and most of them have recovered.
