Five fresh cases of suspected swine flu have been reported in the city during the last two days, hospital authorities said today.

A family of three, comprising a 30-year-old woman and her two children who arrived from Singapore, were among the five persons admitted to a city hospital.  

The remaining two cases were that of two young men having reached Pune from the US.  

Their blood samples have been sent for tests to the National Institute of Virology (NIV), official sources said.   

Two cases of suspected swine flu in Pune, reported a fortnight ago, had subsequently tested negative for the dreaded virus.
