What are the symptoms of pandemic flu?
The symptoms of pandemic flu are likely to be similar to the seasonal flu virus. For example, sudden onset of high temperature, muscle aches and pains, extreme tiredness, cough, sore throat and stuffy or runny nose. It may take two to seven days to show symptoms when a person catches the flu and the symptoms may last for up to a week. A person infected with the flu can usually transmit the flu one to two days before they have symptoms and four to five days after symptoms start.
