Below is going to be the full description of the H1N1 virus on how to break that happened in my area it has caused 39 that's already.  

this virus is found to be a rare virus and it was started with the pigs therefore it is also known as the pig influenza on the swine flu. This is a spreadable virus and it is very dangerous to humankind and other living beings like animals also.

This virus is considered to be very dangerous as it is spreading very fastly and is causing life really fast. This virus spread from person to person by the means of coughing and sneezing, skin contact, through The Saliva, and by the touching contaminated surfaces. The virus is called dangerous because it is really difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of this virus and the sample of common flu as the symptoms of this virus are coughing and sneezing, body, fever, and diarrhea.

The spread of this virus can be prevented by the following ways:-

We should be complete ventilation along with the clean beds and washroom facilities. The nurses and the doctors should keep in mind to take care of them properly my managing the hygiene of the hospital environment.
