Swine flu is a type of influenza caused by the H1N1 strain of Influenza A virus. It spreads mainly through respiratory droplets and can also be transmitted via contaminated hands and surfaces. Anyone can become infected, but certain groups—children, seniors, pregnant women, and those with existing health conditions are at higher risk. To protect yourself and others, practice good hygiene: - Wash hands frequently with soap and water. - Use hand sanitizer when soap isn't available. - Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow when coughing or sneezing. Stay informed and seek medical guidance if you exhibit symptoms. For comprehensive care, book an appointment with doctor nearby your trusted hospital for health concerns. Aug 30, 2026 Book
