New Delhi, May 2: Three passengers, two flying in from Chicago and one who landed in India from London, have been quarantined at Delhi's Ram Manohar Lohia hospital for classical symptoms of H1N1 flu infection.

All three were suffering from cough, cold, fever and upper respiratory infection.

While doctors at the Indira Gandhi International airport sent Paramjit Kaur and Jagjivaan Singh, originally hailing from Fatehabad Sahib in Punjab to RML late on Friday night, soon after they landed in Delhi from Chicago, by the American airlines flight, Ashwini was sent to RML's quarantine facility on Saturday morning after he arrived in Delhi by the British airways flight from London.

Paramjit has been suffering with fever for the past 5 days while Jagjivaan has had fever, sore throat and upper respiratory diseases for past 12 days. The two had also visited affected American states of Texas and Chicago.

Ashwini from London however did not report visit to affected states but was found to have symptoms.

Union health ministry sources told TOI that since Friday afternoon, five people have been sent to RML for final screening on whether suspected passengers fit WHO's definition of a suspect case.
