St. Lucia has been added to the list of Caribbean countries with confirmed cases of the Zika virus.
Two people have tested positive for the mosquito-borne virus – a 25-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman, both from Castries.
Ministry of Health officials are expected to provide details about the development at a press conference Thursday.
Since the detection of Zika virus in Brazil in 2015, more than 30 countries and territories have confirmed the presence of the virus.
