When an attack is identified, epidemiologists undertake several steps to manage and contain it:
Case Identification: Detect and diagnose cases through clinical tests and surveillance systems. Contact Tracing: Identify and monitor people who have been in contact with infected individuals. Data Analysis: Analyze data to understand the attack's spread, identify the source, and determine the attack rate. Intervention: Implement public health measures such as isolation, treatment, and vaccination. Communication: Inform the public and healthcare providers about the attack and recommended precautions.
