    Document: • Summarise information such as characteristics of cases, attack rate, severity of illness (morbidity), and deaths (mortality). • Track the vaccination status of those who are ill with confirmed influenza. 6.2.5 Confirm and declare an influenza outbreak Outbreaks can be caused by various infectious respiratory pathogens. If one or more respiratory samples from ILI cases in a suspected outbreak returns a positive laboratory result for influenza, then an influenza outbreak is confirmed. Confirming influenza as the pathogen is an important step that will guide decisions regarding control measures such as vaccination, and use of antiviral medications. 204 6.2.6 Forming an outbreak management team When a team is formed, it is important to meet regularly, usually daily at the height of the outbreak, to monitor the outbreak, initiate changes to response measures and to discuss outbreak management roles and responsibilities. Even a relatively small respiratory outbreak in an RCF is disruptive because of the risks of complications in vulnerable residents and transmission to staff, with resulting absenteeism. Early recognition of suspected outbreaks and swift management actions are essential for effective response to control spread.
