Controlling an outbreak involves several strategies, including:
- Isolation: Separating infected individuals to prevent disease spread. - Quarantine: Restricting the movement of individuals who may have been exposed to the disease but are not yet symptomatic. - Vaccination: Immunizing at-risk populations to build herd immunity. - Public Health Education: Informing the public about preventive measures such as hand hygiene and social distancing. - Environmental Measures: Implementing sanitation and disinfection practices to eliminate the pathogen from the environment.
