# Context
Original working context:

- Step 1: Construct an epidemic curve from the onset times and interpret the incubation period to hypothesise the likely pathogen.
- Step 2: Write a food safety inspection checklist for the implicated food preparation setting.
- Step 3: Write a case interview questionnaire β€” what to ask each case about food exposures in the 72 hours before illness.
- Step 4: Identify the environmental specimens and food samples to collect for laboratory testing.
- Step 5: Write the immediate control measures β€” what must stop or change right now.
- Step 6: Write the notification requirements β€” which authorities must be informed and within what timeframe.
