QUARANTINE MESSAGE MAP: PANDEMIC FLU<br />

ISSUE: PANDEMIC FLU<br />

STAKEHOLDER:<br />

General Public<br />

QUESTION OR CONCERN:<br />

Why have you imposed/lifted a quarantine during the pandemic?<br />

Key Message 1 (Impose) Key Message 2 (Impose) Key Message 3 (Lift)<br />

Because flu is so<br />

contagious, aggressive<br />

action is necessary<br />

Initially, quarantine may<br />

possibly slow down<br />

spread of flu<br />

Flu is now too widespread for<br />

quarantine to make a<br />

difference<br />

Supporting Fact 1-1 Supporting Fact 2-1 Supporting Fact 3-1<br />

Flu can be spread by air<br />

(coughing or sneezing) or<br />

direct contact<br />

Quarantine limits personal<br />

contact<br />

Quarantine means keeping<br />

people who are not sick, but who<br />

have been exposed to the flu,<br />

away from anybody else<br />

Supporting Fact 1-2 Supporting Fact 2-2 Supporting Fact 3-2<br />

An infected person can<br />

spread flu before<br />

developing symptoms<br />

Slowing the spread of flu<br />

may allow time to develop<br />

and dispense a vaccine<br />

Efforts now are better directed in<br />

caring for the sick, rather than<br />

making sure exposed people<br />

remain in quarantine<br />

Supporting Fact 1-3 Supporting Fact 2-3 Supporting Fact 3-3<br />

People who have been<br />

exposed may pose a risk of<br />

illness to others<br />

Slowing the spread of flu<br />

may allow additional time to<br />

prepare for the outbreak<br />

Flu is so widespread that people<br />

will be exposed to flu despite<br />

quarantine efforts<br />
