Local health departments and medical providers could communicate regularly with the community through local media outlets and digital resources, providing information about preventative measures, disease updates, and reassurance that the outbreak is being managed. Furthermore, establishing hotline numbers and email addresses specifically for questions regarding the outbreak could help to avoid misinformation. Community organizations can provide additional support by volunteering to provide necessary supplies such as masks or hygiene packs and spreading awareness of healthy habits that can help prevent further spread of the disease.
