Border control records are essential for several reasons: 1. Disease Surveillance: They help in the early detection of outbreaks by identifying travelers from regions with known health risks. 2. Contact Tracing: These records are invaluable for contact tracing efforts, helping to track down individuals who may have been exposed to infectious diseases. 3. Resource Allocation: Public health authorities can better allocate resources and prepare responses based on the data from border control records. 4. Policy Making: The information aids in formulating travel advisories and guidelines to prevent the spread of diseases.
