Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the 43-year-old man was diagnosed with viral infection
Zika on Tuesday and has been getting treatment in the city of Gwangju.

Until now, Zika, a virus spread by mosquitoes, was declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Someone who is infected Zika detected, must immediately get adequate treatment because Zika allegedly caused birth defects in babies. Although Zika more worrying when experienced by pregnant women, but men are also asked to be vigilant, because the research had found their Zika transmission through body fluids during sexual intercourse.

However, WHO experts warn that the link between the virus and microcephaly-in which a baby is born with a small head-not yet fully proven. Only, Zika still can not be taken lightly.

Since last year, Zika has spread rapidly in Brazil and the United States. Zika infection has also been reported in several countries in Asia.

South Korea said the infected person Zika has been quarantined and will continue to be monitored even though they had completed treatment and returned home.
