Description
This is interim guidance and will be updated to reflect the changing situation.
An outbreak of COVID-19 can happen in a variety of settings e.g. the home, community, residential care facilities, hospitals and the workplace. In general, the surveillance definition of an outbreak of COVID-19 is:
• two or more cases of illness consistent with COVID-19 infection in a setting and at least one person is a confirmed case of COVID-19
OR
• two or more cases of illness consistent with COVID-19 infection in a setting and there is a strong suspicion that it is caused by COVID-19 (do not report as outbreak of acute respiratory infection (ARI) at this time)
