Note. PHU: The local PHU may have a preferred line list format which they supply to an affected RCF. Example templates for line lists for residents and staff are available in Appendix 13. For large RCFs, ensure each area/unit is included in the line list or keep a separate line listing for each area affected by the outbreak. A separate line listing should be completed for staff with ILI. When completing a line list, it is important to understand that it is a cumulative document. All previous cases listed remain on the list, and each day new cases are added to the bottom of the list. An RCF will need to update the information recorded for previous cases, for example, with new test results, hospitalisation and deaths.
