Social Distancing
People must stay 2+ meters away from others and avoid badly ventilated spaces. Reduce Infection but slightly increase Non-Compliance
Staff Expansion
Deploy medical students, bring staff back from retirement and retrain other professionals to increase medical capacity. Reduce Fatality rate
Steroid Medication
Provide drugs like Dexamethasone to decrease severe inflammation and redirect the immune system to fight the disease. Significantly reduce Fatality rate
Surge Protocols
Cancel all elective surgeries and reallocate outpatient departments. Video calls used for all consultations. Reduce Fatality rate and Infection
Testing Capacity 1
Ensure large quantities of testing reagents and other key materials available for laboratories. Contact Tracing effective in larger outbreaks
Testing Capacity 2
Train additional testing staff and improve logistics to ensure tests are processed rapidly. Contact Tracing effective in larger outbreaks
Testing Capacity 3
Acquire and provide state-of-the-art equipment to allow testing with very high sensitivity and specificity. Contact Tracing effective in larger outbreaks
Treatment Efficiencies
Improve the treatment of infected patients with Pre-Triage assessment and Specialist Treatment Units. Reduce Fatality rate
Triage Protocols
Apply strict criteria for hospital treatment to focus resources on patients with the highest chance of recovery. Significantly reduce Fatality rate but reduce Authority
Ventilators
Provide patients suffering respiratory distress with machinery to help them breathe. Reduce Fatality rate
