The woman, who is currently on ventilator support at Bharti Hospital and continues to be critical, tested positive for the infection earlier after her throat swabs were sent to the National Institute of Virology to check for the possibility of swine flu (H1N1), a doctor said.

She has no foreign travel history.

All the four people who tested positive for the deadly virus on Sunday are the woman's relatives, districtcollector Naval Kishore Ram told PTI.

They include the woman's son, her sister and the latter's husband and daughter, a health official said.
