I'm not the best at deciphering machine translations, however I think these doctors were exposed to swine flu not because they are health care workers but because they were part of a choir in a contest in South Korea. Isn't that what this article says

Yogyakarta (ANTARA) - entourage choir disease specialist doctor in the General Hospital Center (RSUP) Dr Sardjito Yogyakarta taking in Korea will be the `screening` setiba them in Yogyakarta, to anticipate the possibility terinveksi virus H1N1.
"We still use a standard procedure, anyone who came from endemic countries or countries with the H1N1 virus will undergo screening` `, including the group of choirs from Sardjito Hospital recently returned from the competition in Korea," said the Head of Law Section and PR RSUP Dr Sardjito Heru Trisna Nugraha, Monday.
According to him, setiba in Yogyakarta later, the choir group of the "Choir Sardjito Interna jog` s "which consists of 29 physician specialists in the disease and three offisial and trainers will be a` screening `.
"This is just step anstisipasi, because they just arrived from a country endemic swine flu. Checking` or `screening we also do to the body of a bus transport from the entourage of Bali to Yogyakarta, Bali is also due to endemic areas including the H1N1 virus," he said.
He said that this group of choir from Korea to return to Indonesia with the aircraft via Bali. Then, from Bali to continue their journey by using a rented bus in Bali.
"However, we continue to make contact with the gang leaders, and all in healthy condition and there is no interference in the health," he said.
Heru said if later in the `screening` found no signs or suspect (suspect) swine flu, it will be done in isolation or quarantine space Kartika RSUP Sardjito.
"Despite these colleagues, but if terinveksi suspected H1N1 virus, the fixed akan diisolasi in accordance with the applicable procedures," he said.
He said that one of the `screening` will be done is to take mucus samples, both from the throat or nose.
"Samples will be send to our Central Research and Development of Health (Balitbangkes) Ministry of Health in Jakarta to be tested whether or not terinveksi," he said.
According to him, after arriving in Yogyakarta and the `screening`, this group of the choir are asked to stay at home, and can not leave home until the incubation period of H1N1 virus ends.
"They still ask us to stay at home during the first two weekends, and after that time did not experience disruption of health, they may run a new activity as usual," he said.
