    CDC published symptoms of zika viral infection as below :

    • About 1 in 5 people infected with Zika virus become ill (i.e., develop Zika).
    • The most common symptoms of Zika are fever, rash, joint pain, or conjunctivitis (red eyes). Other common symptoms include muscle pain and headache. The incubation period (the time from exposure to symptoms) for Zika virus disease is not known, but is likely to be a few days to a week.
    • The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week.
    • Zika virus usually remains in the blood of an infected person for a few days but it can be found longer in some people.
