The province reported a case of swine flu in its respiratory virus report last month. On July 11th, a single human case of swine-origin influenza A called (H3N2)v was reported. The ‘v’ means it is a strain of virus that normally circulates in pigs, but has infected humans, so it is termed a ‘variant’ virus.

The report says human cases are rare and there was no evidence of person-to-person transmission. The individual wasn’t hospitalized and has recovered. Those were all the details in the report. According to the federal government’s website, human infections of the flu with swine origin usually occur after direct or indirect exposure to infected pigs
