Disease Outbreak Control

Disease outbreak control involves actions taken to prevent or limit the spread of an infectious disease within a community. This includes identifying and diagnosing cases quickly, isolating infected individuals, and tracing and monitoring their contacts to prevent further transmission. Public health measures such as promoting good hygiene, social distancing, vaccination, and communication are also essential. Coordinated efforts among healthcare providers, government agencies, and the community help contain the outbreak, reduce illness, and protect public health. The goal is to stop the disease from spreading widely and to restore normal health safety measures.
