MIAMI, Shawwal 17, 1437, July 22, 2016, SPA -- A civilian contract worker has become the first person with a confirmed case of Zika on the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, after being diagnosed with the mosquito-borne virus following a trip to Jamaica, the Navy said Friday, according to AP. The worker became infected while off the base and remains under medical supervision but now shows no symptoms of the illness, the Navy said in a statement. A Navy spokesman, Bill Dougherty, said the person had recently traveled to nearby Jamaica but said no details about the individual could be disclosed because of U.S. medical privacy laws. --SPA 01:44 LOCAL TIME 22:44 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
