New Delhi, Aug 6 - A day after hundreds of people thronged a Pune hospital for swine flu test, a similar situation erupted at the Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital in the capital Thursday.

Wearing masks and hand gloves, hundreds of people rushed to the hospital, one of the key screening centres for swine flu in Delhi.

'There was a rush since morning. Many people who have seasonal flu are coming for testing as private hospitals are advising them not to take any chances,' a doctor at the hospital said.

'At least 150 people visited the centre by 3 p.m. The number could be more. There were many voluntary patients who just want to get tested,' the doctor added.

However, there was no chaos like at the Pune hospital since the RML Hospital is well equipped to handle a large number of patients.
