A response to this Discussion: Choosing the right spokesperson is crucial because they are the face and voice of the organization during a crisis, shaping public perception and influencing people's behaviors. The spokesperson must be able to effectively communicate important information, address concerns, and provide reassurance to the public and media. Having a designated spokesperson during a crisis has its benefits, such as maintaining a consistent message, managing rumors and misinformation, and showing transparency and accountability. However, there are also drawbacks, such as potential miscommunication, mishandling of sensitive information, or a lack of trustworthiness in the spokesperson. If I were looking to hire a spokesperson to represent an organization's infection prevention plan during the COVID-19 pandemic, I would seek someone with strong communication skills, a calm and reassuring demeanor, a trusted reputation, availability for regular updates, and a good grasp of scientific and medical complexities. This person should be able to convey information clearly, address concerns empathetically, and adapt their messaging as needed. Their background in public health or crisis communication would be essential to effectively navigate the challenges posed by the pandemic
