Severe Viral Symptoms is an Incident in the 112 Operator Pandemic Outbreak DLC that is part of the COVID event, and can spawn during Duties #2 through #5 of that event. This incident requires medical response, and has only one incident site.
The incident involves a person who is exhibiting symptoms of a severe COVID infection. Medics must give the patient a rudimentary check-up on site, and then transport the patient to a hospital before they can infect anyone.
This incident carries a serious risk of Coronavirus infection for anyone who comes in contact with the patient.
Conditions to Spawn[]
The Severe Viral Symptoms incident requires the Pandemic Outbreak DLC to be installed and active. The incident will not happen during normal play, until such time that the COVID event is triggered.
The incident will only begin to spawn on the second Duty of the COVID outbreak. It can then spawn in every Duty until the outbreak is over. It is only mildly common among other incidents that can happen during the outbreak, but remains at roughly the same prevalence throughout.
This incident can only spawn on a building. Note that some maps feature buildings inside parks, or other wilderness areas that have little or no road access.
Resolution[]
The Severe Viral Symptoms incident must be reached within 900 seconds of real time (on SLOW game speed) or it will automatically fail. This is a fairly long time window, and there is no real rush.
The reputation reward for resolving this incident is +2.
The penalty for ignoring this incident is -2, and is subject to multipliers from the current difficulty setting.
Scene Elements[]
This incident contains one scene with a single medical element.
Description[]
The scene takes place at the patient's house. The patient is inside, waiting for assistance from medics. The patient requires only the most basic medical treatment, but must then be transported to hospital
COVID Infection[]
Whenever an emergency worker "targets" the patient for interaction - even if they don't get the chance to come near the patient - a check is made to see if the worker has bee infected with COVID.
The risk is 60% by default for this incident, making it one of the most dangerous incidents during the COVID outbreak. However, that risk is altered by various factors including the current progress of the pandemic and the equipment worn by the emergency worker.
Note that this check can be triggered multiple times during the same scene, such as when the worker switches to another element and then switches back to the infectious element, which can happen for a variety of reasons. Each worker has to pass the check independently of any other workers who might target the infected element.
Any emergency worker who contracts COVID will be put into quarantine for several Duties.
