Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The answer talks about what to do when there's a substantial spread of COVID-19 in the community, even though the question asked for what to do in the event of minimal or moderate spread. It's not the right answer for what's being asked.
The response is perfect because the response highlighted steps to be taken and the appropriate organizations to contact.

The answer is a referral to an official website.
This doesn't directly answer the question at all and instead just provides an external link. While that could be helpful in general, it doesn't specifically address what was being asked.
