What is Swain flu
Swine influenza (also called swine flu, hog flu, pig flu and sometimes, the swine) is an infection by any one of several types of swine influenza virus. Swine influenza virus (SIV) is any strain of the influenza family of viruses that is endemic in pigs.[2] As of 2009, the known SIV strains include influenza C and the subtypes of influenza A known as H1N1, H1N2, H3N1, H3N2, and H2N3.

Swine flu symptoms are similar to those of seasonal flu, including fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue.

A significant number of infected people have also reported diarrhea and vomiting. Like seasonal flu, it can cause severe illness and death in some cases.

Prevention from Swine Flu
» Catch coughs and sneezes in a clean tissue and throw the tissue safely in the bin.
» If you haven’t got a tissue, use your hands but wash them thoroughly with soap straight away.
» Wash your hands thoroughly & frequently with soap, especially after being in crowded public places and
around food.
» Wash your hands well with plenty of soap and dry them with a clean towel.
» Treat your hands as contaminated. Don’t touch them to your eyes, nose and mouth.
» Don’t shake hands or get too close to someone who seems unwell.
» If you feel ill, stay at home and call your doctor for advice.
» Use mask at the public place and handkerchief.
