Human Swine Influenza is contagious and is spreading from human to human. However, at this time, it is not known how easily the virus spreads between people.
This flu is thought to be spread from person to person in the same way seasonal influenza and other common respiratory infections spread.
Being in close contact (e.g. within a metre) with an infected person while they are talking, coughing or sneezing puts you at risk of becoming infected. Virus-containing droplets can land on the surfaces of the mouth, nose and throat of people close by. The virus may also be spread through contact with infectious respiratory secretions on the hands of an infected person or other objects and surfaces.
