Twenty-one new cases of locally-transmitted Zika virus have been confirmed in central Bangkok, including a pregnant woman who later gave birth with no complications, Thailand's public health ministry said on Sunday. 
Residents in the Thai capital were urged not to be alarmed after the cases were confirmed in the Sathorn area of the city, an up-market neighbourhood popular with the city's expatriate community and part of the capital's business district. 
"Of the 21 cases confirmed in the Sathorn area there was one pregnant woman who recovered and gave birth successfully," media reports quoted Ministry of Public Health spokesman as saying. 
"Mother and newborn are safe," he said, adding that the pregnant woman's husband had recently returned from Singapore. 
Thailand first recorded the Zika virus in 2012 and the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority conducts regular testing for the virus.
