MONROE, La (KNOE 8 News) - Thursday we reported that two people in Louisiana have tested positive for the Zika virus.

As of Friday morning, we can confirm one of those people is living here in Monroe.

Doctor Kwhar Khurshid, an infectious disease specialisticon1.pngat St. Francis Hospital, tells us that earlier this week he received a call from the hospital's ER informing him they had a patient with symptoms for the Zika virus.

Dr. Khurshid performed tests and sent them to a lab.Resultsicon1.png came back positive for the Zika virus.

Dr. Khurshid says the patient had recently returned from a trip to Nicaragua.

The patient has since been counseled on the virus and how it is spread.
