Abstract
Public health control measures The immediate control of outbreaks of gastroenteritis in an institution is important to prevent the spread of infection to other residents, staff and visitors. In 2005, a toolkit titled ‘Gastro Pack’ was developed that provides information on the early recognition of an outbreak, implementation of control measures, management of affected people and communication strategies. The Department of Health and Ageing have released a similar resource titled ‘Gastro Info Kit’, designed specifically for outbreaks in aged-care facilities. Use of these guidelines should aid in the containment of gastroenteritis outbreaks in institutions.
