H1N1 Influenza Virus

H1N1 influenza virus, commonly known as swine flu, is a type of flu that infects humans and originated from pigs. It spreads mainly through droplets when infected people cough, sneeze, or talk, and can also spread by touching contaminated surfaces. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and fatigue. While most recover without complication, it can be serious for vulnerable groups like the elderly, young children, and those with health conditions. Vaccines and good hygiene practices are effective ways to prevent infection and control its spread.
