## Outbreak Response Guidelines ##
## Outbreak Response Guidelines

COVID-19 originated in mainland China in late 2019. In many cases, it causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). About 20% of the confirmed cases require hospitalization, 14% are considered severe, 6% need ICU care, and roughly 2% result in death. A typical incubation period is 3 days, but it may extend to 14 days, and reports exist of 24 and 27 days. It is highly contagious with an increase from day to day of 50% in new cases (infection rate R0 of about 3-4) unless extraordinary interventions are made. It has become a widespread pandemic, and it is beginning to change the lives of everyone in the world. It is imperative to act to confine and stop the outbreak and not accept its spread. We provide these guidelines for individual, community and government action.

## Reducing contact between the family and others:

Carefully read our guidelines for individuals and share it with family members. Discuss with them how to reduce their contact with others.
Shift family gatherings to be virtual. The current outbreak will either be defeated or will become widespread. In the former, a few months from now will return to normal. In the latter, different actions will be needed.
Ensure that you and members of your family have necessary supplies, including prescription medicines. Consider vulnerable members of the family including elderly, but also anybody over 50, and those with chronic health conditions, as to the risk of contact with others. Reduce their contact, provide support that enables them to stay at home and not go into public spaces.

Promote understanding among employees and their families of Coronavirus transmission and prevention.
Develop customized organization policies to reduce transmission and arrange for meticulous implementation.
Ensure employees know that when they have even mild symptoms they should not be at work locations or in-person meetings and they will not be penalized for sick days. Set up a reporting system for any cases.

1. The use of masks is debated, we note that: (1) Any individual who has even mild symptoms should avoid contact with others and should wear a mask while in necessary public or private contact with others. (2) Wearing a mask should be accepted in public settings to prevent those who are sick from hesitating to or feeling stigmatized by wearing a mask. (3) While masks do not guarantee safety for a healthy individual and their availability may be limited because of higher priority need in medical settings, using masks where proximity to others who may be infected can’t be avoided dramatically reduces the risk of infection. (4) For those who are over 50 or have preexisting health conditions, as well as for those in areas of heightened risk, the large cost of being infected justifies the use of a mask. While not ideal, [reusable washable masks](https://www.endcoronavirus.org/page/english-making-masks) can be made by hand, and they are needed for protection in hospitals, nursing homes, rehab centers, group homes and other group settings.

### Types of Zones

* Green Zones: Regions without confirmed cases or with a few infected travelers arriving from other regions
* Yellow Zones: Regions with a few cases of local transmission, but without clusters of community transmission
* Orange Zones: Regions adjacent to Red Zones or with small clusters
* Red Zones: Regions that have sustained community transmission

- Green Zones: Regions without confirmed cases or with a few infected travelers arriving from other regions
- Yellow Zones: Regions with a few cases of local transmission, but without clusters of community transmission
- Orange Zones: Regions adjacent to Red Zones or with small clusters
- Red Zones: Regions that have sustained community transmission

This color-coded zone-based scheme is based on the idea that in areas in which the virus is spreading within the community, the social connectivity must be lowered to the point where each individual infected will infect less than one other person on average. This decreased social connectivity will result in an exponential decrease in the number of new cases (although, due to the incubation period, there may be a time-delay before this is observed).
