More honeymooners face flu tests
A second couple who became ill after returning from their honeymoon in Mexico have been quarantined in their home as they wait to find out if they have contracted the swine flu virus, it has been reported.
Pete and Jenny Marshall said they had been told to stay at their house in the Gorgie area of Edinburgh with their friend Gemma O'Brien, who had been looking after the property, until they get test results back in five days.
The newlyweds were in Cancun around the same time as Iain and Dawn Askham from Polmont in Falkirk - the first two Britons confirmed with swine flu, who are now recovering in a Lanarkshire hospital.
Mr and Mrs Marshall and Ms O'Brien are among 23 suspected swine flu cases in Scotland.
The couple consulted doctors after arriving back in the UK last week.
They said they were then told to stay in quarantine for five days, along with Ms O'Brien, 27, from London, who had been temporarily staying in their house.
Mr Marshall, 37, a flower wholesaler, told the Daily Record: "We were feeling great on holiday. It was the best time of our lives.
"My wife felt ill when we got back with a kind of sickness bug and with the news this weekend, I started to get a bit worried. Jenny's feeling a lot better but she's still not 100%. Now I'm starting to get a runny nose and am a bit blocked up."
The newspaper reported that Mr and Mrs Marshall and their friend had some DVDs and takeaway food for their stay in quarantine.
Results of some of the swine flu tests being carried out on 23 people across Scotland are expected back on Wednesday.
