DALLAS (Reuters) - Eleven people at Dyess Air Force Base in the Texas city of Abilene have been quarantined as a precaution for possible exposure to SARS, but they do not appear to have the disease, an air base spokeswoman says.

"At this time, no one has been diagnosed as having SARS," said Lt. Jennifer Donovan. She declined to say whether those in quarantine were military or civilian personnel.

Initial tests for eight of the 11 people were negative for the SARS virus and it will take several days to make sure that all of the 11 are free of the potentially deadly Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, the base said in a statement.
