Virus Outbreak

How do I deal with it?

I tried locking up all the infected people in Supermax and I isolated them from the rest but it still re-spread.

Any tips?

I dealt with it by calling in medics and placing them around my prison. Had 200 prisoners, 10 infected at start. Just ignored it after that untill around 50 got infected, treated and waited for the cure to work. And that was that.

The doctors won't cure them unless they're nearby. If you have a lot of infected prisoners, send you doctors into the canteen or yard when there's a crowd of green guys. Or you can send them to solitary and send a doctor to their cell.

Once they're listed as "Treated" they'll heal up eventually, but it takes a little while.

The sick prisioners go hang around in the Infarmary but the doctos won't heal them. They just... Hang around.

If I send a doctor into a canteen he'll just turn back around.

The events still need balancing. The virus, for example, is more like the plague: it will wipe out your prison in a few days, while your medics stare at walls.

Even a burst pipe just reveals the game weaknesses: a huge flood everywhere, and your workers stroll around doing their little chores, like nothing happened. You can't prioritise jobs or clear the job queue, so by the time they acknowledge the problem your prison is a lake.

Better to keep events OFF, until the devs sort them out.
