How to Reduce Disease

Research Hospitals

Frostpunk 2 Research Hospitals
Hospitals decrease disease. They can be unlocked by researching them in the Society Category of the Idea Tree. Once the research is done, build them in expanded Housing Districts to reduce the growing Squalor in your city.

Pass Laws Under Contagion Prevention

Frostpunk 2 Pass Laws Under Contagion Prevention
The Contagion Prevention category will be available in the Council Hall, under City and Welfare, in the middle of Chapter 1. While different factions will give you different ideas, any of them will essentially help in reducing Disease.

Avoid Building Food Districts Next to Other Districts

Frostpunk 2 Avoid Building Food Districts Next to Other Districts

Placing Food Districts next to other Districts increase the Disease in your city. The only exception of this is the Housing District. Make sure to plan the construction of your city properly so you could avoid increasing Diseases or Squalor.

What are Diseases

Comes from Lack of Heat

Frostpunk 2 Comes from Lack of Heat
Disease will increase if there is not enough heat for everyone. This will happen a lot during whiteouts or the cold season, which is why it's important to stock up on heat by collecting oil.
How to Get More Oil

Comes from Unsafe Working Conditions or Squalor

Frostpunk 2 Comes from Unsafe Working Conditions or Toxic fumes
Emergency shifts and massive amounts of factories will increase Disease in your city. This won't be a problem at first but shutting down emergency shifts and factories will greatly help in reducing Disease in Frostpunk 2.
