World Health Organization Phases of a Pandemic
World Health Organization Phases of a Pandemic
• WHO has six phases for a pandemic that are under review following the H1N1 pandemic
• Each Phase has specific activities recommended to governments
• Each phase has communication recommendations
• International Health Regulations of 2005• Novel virus and severity of the virus must be
linked in new phase release

EpidemiologyEpidemiology
• Incubation period about 1 to 4 days
•2-3 days for H1N1, 2-8 days for H5N1
• Infective for about 5 to 7 days
•up to 2 weeks in high-risk individuals
• Infectious up to 24 hours BEFORE symptoms
• May be asymptomatic (30 - 50%)

High Risk PopulationsHigh Risk Populations
• Schools– Children have longer viral shedding period– Greater opportunities for spread
• Military facilities– Close living quarters– Field hygiene
• Incarcerated– Prisons– Mental facilities
• Elderly care facilities

Who is a “close contact”?Who is a “close contact”?
• People who came within 1 meter of shared space with a confirmed or suspect case patient beginning 1 day before onset of symptoms through 14 days after onset of symptoms.

Rapid ResponseRapid Response• Strong Surveillance systems will provide the
opportunity to “Contain” a virus or bacteria before it can spread; Two weeks response
• Launching a Containment Operation to seal off a geographically defined area requires a PRE-DEFINED DECISION-MAKING PROCESS
• Logistical support and trained personnel• A Risk Communication Plan and support
from the local authorities• Plan for 6 weeks of support for 10,000
people

Societal ImpactsSocietal Impacts
• School closures• Air transportation and general movement of
goods• Potential Border Closures (Tourism decline)• Economic slow down • Health system overload from flu patients
– Care for normal sick is reduced– Supplies and staff become over burdened

Sustaining Essential ServicesSustaining Essential Services• Planning estimates are that 40% of the work
forces will be affected• Essential services will deteriorate slowly
