Reputational Risk from Disease Outbreaks and Viral Spread

0

Definition

When disease outbreaks occur at a facility, negative word-of-mouth and social media reputation damage spreads rapidly. Parents fear contagion and withdraw enrollment even after outbreak resolution. A single major outbreak can reduce enrollment by 15-30% lasting 2-3 months as parents seek alternatives. The loss mechanism: outbreak → facility closure → parent communication (often negative) → social media/reviews amplification → parent anxiety → enrollment withdrawal. Recovery period is 2-4 months as parents rebuild confidence.
