Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi tested H1N1 swine flu positive on Friday.

He is on Temiflu dose presently.

A panel of four government doctors is taking medical care of the Chief Minister.

The Chief Minister has been isolated in Chief Minister’s bungalow in Gandhinagar.

His all scheduled programmes for next seven days are canceled. He will remain in isolation for next seven days at least. He will be available on phone for important issues that demand consultation.

Modi’s samples for H1N1 test were taken on Thursday evening. He was back from Russia trip a day earlier.

As this is early stage of swine flu, the disease is well under control and there is no reason to worry, the doctors said.
