The best thing you can do is stay inside your house so as not to let the virus spread. Then, in the UK, you must call the NHS Swine Flu phone number.

REMEMBER: Catch it, bin it, kill it.

In the US, call your primary care physician to find out if you should be examined by the doctor. That usually isn't necessary, though. Treat it symptomatically like you would any flu. See the related question below on how swine flu is treated.
