The two new cases involve a 38-year-old man and his eight-year-old son from Yiwu City in Zhejiang Province.
Xiong Huang with the National Health and Family Planning Commission has an update on all of the patients.
"Currently, a Zika patient in Jiangxi province has been discharged from hospital after a full recovery. Four other patients are being treated in local hospitals with standard treatments, and their conditions are now stable."
The two latest patients were bitten by mosquitoes while traveling in Fiji and Samoa.
So far all cases in China have been imported from other countries.
Noting that the virus may enter the country again, Li Dexin with Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention says that strong prevention measures must be taken.
"There are mainly three prevention measures. One is closely monitoring Entry-Exit Inspection 1 and Quarantine practices to detect patients and isolate 2 them. Two, disease prevention, especially monitoring its spreading agency: mosquito activity, whether they carry the virus. Three, if any epidemic 3 should occur, measures will be taken to exterminate 4 mosquitoes."
Scientists with the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention have already decoded 5 the genome of the country's first imported case of Zika.
This has greatly helped the understanding of the virus' variations.
Xiong huang warns the risk of spreading of the mosquito-borne disease is still high, as the temperature warms up.
"We will be on high alert as the weather warms up, some parts of the country will enter the active season of mosquito. Once import, the Zika virus has its chance to spread in the region. The National Health and Family Planning Commission will plan ahead to prevent and control the disease."
