Meghalaya is under surveillance to detect any possible case of swine flu in the state.

Stating that swine flu is like any other 'seasonal flu', the physician urged people to maintain hygiene by washing hands regularly and also wearing face masks.
"People should maintain respiratory etiquette by maintaining safe distance from those affected by the H1N1 virus. The aged, children, diabetics, cancer patients and pregnant women are more susceptible to the disease," he said, adding that the flu spreads "man-to-man" through sneezes and coughs.
