Virus outbreak: providing information quickly and maintaining trust

A new variant of the virus is spreading rapidly and affecting society as a whole. CrisisRadar helps GGD, RIVM and local authorities to communicate clearly from the moment the first cases are detected, to coordinate contact tracing, and to provide people with accurate information in a calm and reassuring manner.

The scenario

What happens

A new variant is spreading faster than expected. Hospital admissions are rising, schools and events are becoming hotspots for infection, and contact tracing is becoming overwhelmed. At the same time, misinformation is spreading rapidly via social media. Within a short space of time, measures must be explained, contacts must be traced and the vaccination programme must be adjusted. This must be done without causing panic and whilst maintaining public confidence, so that people continue to follow the advice.
