Flight passengers from Dubai flight to New York quarantined
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York City mayor's
office says 10 people hospitalized after a large commercial jet arrived from
Dubai have tested positive for
influenza.
Mayoral spokesman Eric Phillips tweeted on
Thursday that some tests came back inconclusive on other viruses and will be
re-administered. All 10 patients will be kept in the hospital as a precaution
until the final results come in.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention quarantined the double-decker Emirates aircraft holding 520
passengers Wednesday so it could evaluate about 100 of them. Some had
complained about coughs, headaches, sore throats and fevers.
