Rajasthan MLAs get swine flu tests in assembly

Rajasthan Assembly on Wednesday saw over 15 legislators getting their tests done for swine flu. This comes after BJP MLA Amrita Meghwal, who had tested positive for swine flu, was in Assembly on Tuesday. The legislators who got their tests done on Wednesday are primarily the ones who came in contact with her.

The medical department also went door to door to check up on 50 MLAs who live around Meghwal's house. The family members and domestic help were screened by the medical team and administered medications to them.

CMHO Dr Narottam Sharma told DNA, "A total of 15 MLAs were tested for swine flu. Their results will come by Thursday."

Madan Rathore, a legislator, said, "Yes, I have got the test for swine flu done. I do not have any symptoms so far, but have got it done as a precautionary measure."

"Our teams surveyed 50 homes of legislators around Amrita Meghwal's home. We have given them precautionary Tamiflu medicines," said CMHO Sharma.

Over the last 151 days, 976 persons have been tested swine flu positive and 88 deaths have been reported.
