H1N1 Flu Virus is a respiratory illness that causes symptoms similar to those of the regular human seasonal flu. The symptoms include fever, fatigue, lack of appetite, coughing and sore throat. Some people with H1N1 flu virus have also reported vomiting and diarrhea.
Algoma Public Health is currently working closely with local institutions and healthcare providers, as well as provincial and federal health agencies and officials.
Since the swine flu outbreak information is changing rapidly, the Public Health Agency of Canada website will provide the most up to date national information on what is happening abroad and here in Canada.
If you are exhibiting symptoms of a respiratory illness, please call your health care provider to discuss your symptoms.
