"The patients, a female, 28 and a male, 25, are stable and are being treated according to the recommended protocol of care," the ministry said in a Thursday statement, adding that the individuals do not have a history of recent travel to a Zika-affected country.
Earlier on Thursday, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that transmission of the Zika virus had been reported in 62 countries or territories.
About 80 percent of people infected with Zika show no symptoms and are unaware of having contracted the virus, according to the WHO.
The Zika virus affects primarily monkeys and humans and is transmitted mainly by daytime-active mosquitoes. Transmission through blood transfusions and sexual intercourse has also been reported.
Zika does not cause serious complications in adults but it has been linked to brain defects and neurological disorders such as microcephaly.
The current Zika outbreak started in Brazil in the spring of 2015.
