Coimbatore: A 30-year old woman and her three children, aged between five and one, have been admitted to the Government Medical College Hospital here with suspected swine flu symptoms.
The woman, belonging to Porthiadanear Udhagamandalam, had been undergoing treatment at a local Primary Health Centre for severe cough and throat pain for the last two days and she along with her children were shifted here last night, officials said.
