Control and prevention measures depend on the nature of the disease and the context of the outbreak. Common strategies include:
- Isolation and quarantine: Separating infected individuals to prevent the spread of disease. - Vaccination: Immunizing at-risk populations to build herd immunity. - Public health education: Informing the public about preventive measures such as handwashing and social distancing. - Environmental measures: Addressing factors that contribute to the spread of disease, such as improving sanitation and water quality.
