Dealing with a Virus Outbreak

[Cad]

Hi all, just wondered what everyone else does to combat a Virus Outbreak, tips, advice, quarantine systems etc will be appriciated. I usually hire a few more doctors and send them to busy corridors, it takes awhile but works, anyone else have a better way?

I do the same, but I don't hire more doctors. Everytime a bunch of prisoners are in one place, like the canteen, yard or shower, i'll send all the doctors there.

First, trigger bangup and identify all infected prisoners. Keep infected prisoners in permanent lockdown so they don't infect anyone else. After you have identified the infected and properly quarantined them, you can turn off bangup and send a doctor to each infected prisoner.

How do you enable Virus Outbreak?

[KiKaZz ☭LCM☭]

its random, one of the mutators or random events that you can enable before you start a prison

When starting your prison, check the "Events" box. There are several random events that can occur to make the game more interesting.

I am always pausing the game, takes a while to find all the infected prisoners but once I do that, I send them to their cells (lockdown/solitary punishment). Once there are healed, I cancel the punishment. The problem with virus is when you can not find one prisoner or they have a long way to their cells. This results in more infected and it's just a mess.
My prisons are always divided into blocks and whenever a virus outbreak happens, it's just one block. I lock it if I there's more prisoners to deal with, I send paramedics into the most used corridors and rooms. It works pretty well.
