Authorities in the Bahamas are reporting the archipelago’s first Zika case and say it was contracted elsewhere.
The health minister, Dr. Michael Perry, said Wednesday that the patient is a man who recently traveled to Jamaica. He says the man lives on New Providence island, where the Bahamas capital of Nassau is located.
Zika causes a mild illness in most people but can lead to severe brain-related birth defects if women are infected during pregnancy.
The mosquito-borne virus has been spreading across the Americas since last year.
