National Help Line: 1075

Four Indian Fencers and a Coach Test Positive

Four Indian fencers and a coach have tested positive for swine flu on their return home from an international competition in Singapore.

"Five members tested positive and they were quarantined at the the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital," Fencing Association of India secretary-general Arun Kumar Vij said.

"The hospital doctors have said the flu was at the initial stages and the five members have been kept under observation. They are likely to be released Monday," he said.

"Since they were on an international flight, it is quite possible that they might have been infected by some traveller."
