Question: How does H1N1 spread?

H1N1, also known as the swine flu, is a contagious respiratory virus. It is primarily spread through contact with the saliva or nasal mucus of an infected person. When an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, the virus can be transmitted to those in close contact with them. It can also be spread by touching surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus and then touching one’s eyes, nose, or mouth. It is important to practice good hygiene such as frequent handwashing, avoiding close contact with sick people, and avoiding touching your face to help prevent the spread of the virus.
