What should i do if there's a disease outbreak in the community where my family lives?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Remain calm: Remain calm, and protect yourself and your family, but keep perspective. Stay up to date on news of the outbreak, but limit the time you spend watching television or reading the Internet about it, and take the time to focus on those things in your life that you can control. Above all, get the facts.
