15 tested for SARS in Manipal

Manipal May 9. Fifteen people who came in contact with a CEO of an Indo-Malaysian joint venture, whose blood samples tested positive for the SARS virus, have been subjected to medical examination here.

``Over 15 persons including doctors and nurses who attended a conference in which the CEO participated have been tested for SARS virus,'' the Udupi District Health Officer, Chandramouli, told PTI today.

The CEO, who arrived from Malaysia last month, was the first person to test positive.
