Influenza A H1N1(swine flu) spreads from person to person, in the same way that seasonal influenza viruses spread.
The main form of transmission is through the coughs or snezzes of an infected person. Infected drplets are releases into the air and breathed in by others. However these droplets do ot remain in the air for long and generally only affect people within two metres.
It is also possible to get the influenza by touching contamiated surfaces and then touching your nose, mouth or eyes.
The Influenza A (H1N1) virus is not spread through eating properly-cooked pork or handling pork products. Chloriated water also makes it very unlikel that people will get this virus.
