From the ABC website:

A member of a Qantas flight crew has been admitted to St Vincents Hospital in Sydney with suspected Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).

Qantas says the female flight crew member became unwell yesterday and was admitted to hospital this morning.

She last worked on Qantas flight 32 from Singapore that arrived in Sydney last Sunday.

Qantas believes she was not infectious at the time of the flight.

The airline says as a precaution it has decided to contact passengers and crew who travelled on that flight.

A spokesman for St Vincents Hospital says microbiology and pathology lab test have been performed on the woman to test for the SARS virus.

He says they will take 24 hours to process.

The woman is believed to be in a stable condition
