How Are Outbreaks Managed in Educational Institutions?
Outbreak management in educational settings involves several steps:
1. Surveillance: Monitoring the health of students and staff to detect early signs of an outbreak. 2. Investigation: Identifying the source and mode of transmission of the disease. 3. Intervention: Implementing measures such as isolation, vaccination, and sanitation to control the spread. 4. Communication: Informing all stakeholders, including parents, about the outbreak and preventive measures.
