Starting a Room Case

Animals involved in room cases will be based on the current census in the room rather than by searching for specific animals. The most common purpose for a room case would be to treat some kind of outbreak such as MPV, however you could use a room case wherever there is a situation where a set of health-related activities will be performed on every cage in the room.
