Epidemiological Surveillance: Continuous monitoring of disease incidence and prevalence using data from hospitals, clinics, and laboratories. Geospatial Analysis: Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to map disease cases and identify clusters. Contact Tracing: Tracking the contacts of infected individuals to determine if there is a concentration of cases in a particular area. Community Surveys: Conducting surveys to gather data on symptoms and risk factors in different communities.
