What should administrators do if a resident or staff shows symptoms of COVID-19?
section_content: Ask residents to actively monitor (at least daily) for COVID-19
symptoms,
including fever and respiratory symptoms (shortness of breath, new or change
in cough). Administrators should work with local health authorities to
establish procedures for those who become sick. Sick residents should avoid
contact with individuals who are healthy. If you think someone may have
COVID-19, ask them to self-isolate and you should contact local health
officials.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Does not answer the question or provide steps to be taken for community outbreak. Instead provides information that seems to be relevant more so for management companies (landlords, etc.)
This gives advice on how to get started but doesn't give a lot of detail about how to deal with an outbreak. It tells you who to call for more information.

What should I do if there is an outbreak in my community?
section_content: During an outbreak, stay calm and put your preparedness plan to work. Follow
the steps below:
Protect yourself and
others.

Stay home if you are sick. Keep away from people who are sick. Limit close contact with others as much as possible (about 6 feet).

Put your household plan into action.


Stay informed about the local COVID-19 situation. Be aware of temporary school dismissals in your area, as this may affect your household’s daily routine.


Continue practicing everyday preventive actions. Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue and wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains 60% alcohol. Clean frequently touched surfaces and objects daily using a regular household detergent and water.

Notify your workplace as soon as possible if your regular work schedule changes. Ask to work from home or take leave if you or someone in your household gets sick with COVID-19 symptoms, or if your child’s school is dismissed temporarily. Learn how businesses and employers can plan for and respond to COVID-19.
Stay in touch with others by phone or email. If you have a chronic medical condition and live alone, ask family, friends, and health care providers to check on you during an outbreak. Stay in touch with family and friends, especially those at increased risk of developing severe illness, such as older adults and people with severe chronic medical conditions.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Directly responds to the question and provides detailed information on what steps can be taken to decrease risk for COVID.
This is a great answer for individuals and families, but not for entire communities. A community manager could give these steps to households who have tested positive but it doesn't say anything about how to deal with an actual outbreak.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Does not answer the question of what steps should be taken and instead provides links to COVID rates.
While this does touch on COVID-19, it doesn't tell you how to deal with an outbreak. It gives information on how to find out whether there is an outbreak in the first place.
