English term or phrase: hotspot
Hola nuevamente:

Plan accordingly to make sure that handwashing facilities don’t become crowded and act as ‘COVID-19 **hotspots**’).

Encontré un par de acepciones en Proz, pero creo que ninguna se ajusta al contexto.

Por el contexto, considero que podría traducirse como:

"puntos de transmisión/propagación"

Una vez más, gracias de antemano.
