NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Nine people have been quarantined at home near Abilene, Texas, as a precaution against severe acute respiratory syndrome, the Austin American-Statesman reported Thursday on its Web site.

The group includes military personnel who recently passed through the Toronto airport - some of whom reported mild to moderate respiratory problems this week after returning to Texas - and some people they`ve come in contact with, the report said, citing Capt. David May of Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene.

The report said none have been hospitalized and only one person fits the definition of having a suspected case of SARS.

The report cited officials with the Abilene-Taylor County Public Health District as saying no one in the group has been diagnosed with SARS and the public has no reason to be alarmed.

May declined to say exactly when the military personnel were in Toronto or how many were in the group, the report said. The health district said they were in the Toronto airport for about an hour on their way to and from a military exercise in Ontario, the American-Statesman reported.

DJ Quarantined/Texas/SARS -2: Test Results Expected In Days



Cable News Network reported Friday that the results of the group`s SARS tests are expected in the next few days.

The CNN report said the group includes six active-duty Air Force personnel and three family members. It said one of the nine recently returned from Canada and became ill with cold-like symptoms.

A CNN reporter said she was told by U.S. Centers for Disease Control that if the cases do turn out to be SARS - "a big if," she said - it could lead to the reinstatement of a warning against travel to Canada. The report said Canadian health officials and U.S. Department of Defense officials held a conference call Friday morning to discuss the matter.
