Healthy individuals, on the other hand, might experience symptoms that include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Infections during pregnancy can result in miscarriages and stillbirths.

According to authorities, there have been no reported illnesses in relation to this incident.
