Infectious outbreaks are like natural disasters: we never know when they will strike. We don't know how much worse the COVID-19 pandemic will get or when the next outbreak will strike, but there's no doubt that there will be many more pandemics in the future. It's even possible that the next one will be far deadlier than the coronavirus pandemic currently plaguing the world. The time for planning for the next outbreak isn't after people start falling ill with a new contagion. The time to plan for the next one is now, before the painful memories of our unpreparedness for the COVID-19 pandemic fade. Dr. Albert Munanga wrote The New Rules of Engagement to help individuals and institutions prepare for the next outbreak. Dr. Munanga's handbook provides practical advice about containing diseases like COVID-19 in congregant living settings, including individual households. The old adage says that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This book is your ounce of prevention.
